Asia

I never meant to be so bad to you

One thing I said that I would never do

One look from you and I would fall from grace

And that would wipe this smile right from my face



Do you remember when we used to dance

And incidence arose from circumstance

One thing lead to another we were young

And we would scream together songs unsung



{chorus}

It was the heat of the moment

Telling me what your heart meant

Heat of the moment shone in your eyes



And now you find yourself in 82

The disco hotspots hold no charm for you

You can't concern yourself with bigger things

You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings



{chorus}



And when your looks are gone and you're alone

How many nights you sit beside the phone

What were the things you wanted for yourself

Teenage ambition you remember well



{chorus x2}

You're leaving now

It's in your eyes

There's no disguising it

It really comes as no surprise

To find that you planned it all along



I see it now

Becomes so clear

Your insincerity

And me all starrey-eyed

To think that I would have know by now



{chorus}

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky

This lie is over

Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over



{Only time will tell}

One thing is sure

That time will tell

{Only time will tell}

If you were wrong

The brightest ring around the moon

Will darken when I die



{chorus}



{repeat first verse}

{repeat second verse}

{chorus}



{Only time will tell}

You're on your own

Inside your room

{Only time will tell}

You're claiming victory

You were just using me

And there is no one you can use now



{Only time will tell}

One thing is sure

That time will tell...

When I ran from the hounds of hell

Twist my foot, I nearly fell

I was lucky I was alive

One look back I could have died



{chorus}

I was the sole survivor

Sole survivor

Sole survivor

Solitary fighter



When I saw it I was amazed

One time glory right in my gaze

I saw the sorrow, I saw the joy

Right in the darkness none could destroy



{chorus}



And from the wreckage I will arise

Cast the ashes back in their eyes

See the fire, I will defend

Just keep on burning right to the end



{chorus}

Loneliness, a constant friend and lover

I know well

Crowded rooms the iron bar

That surround me

Trying hard to catch your eye

Just once, you see

Knowing from this moment if you did

We could be



{chorus}

One step closer

Closer than we are

One step closer

Closer than before



So many lines, you've heard them all

A lie in every one

From men who never understand

Your personality

And though we never even met

No talking needs to be done

The hum of conversation will disolve you

Into me



{chorus x2}

{chorus}

Fate looks certain but there's nothing guaranteed

Want for nothing, but is nothing what you need?

Always pushing but you're never satisfied

I did believe you 'til I found out that you lied



{chorus}

Time and time again

Time and time again again



For what I give you I get nothing in return

Can't forgive you watching all your bridges burn

All day long I sat and watched you do it wrong

Have to say that's how you did it all along



{chorus}



But others wouldn't see things you could only see

And someone showed you, then why was it always me

You knew the limit you were always out of bounds

How could I trust you when I caught you messing 'round



{chorus}

They decorated all the generals

Who fought the wars behind the lines

They had forgotten all the soldiers

The brandy put them way behind the times



Insanity has found its way to TV screens

Vision seems impossible to me

They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country

I never would have thought this in my



{chorus}

Wildest dreams

Wildest dreams

Wildest dreams

Wildest dreams



The evening comes, we sit and watch the VJs

Clips and rushes come from who knows where

From Washington across to California

With fighting breaking out in Leicester Square



We see the soldiers moving on to victory

And children trampled under marching feet

They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country

How many millions will they put to sleep?



{chorus}

Fly away...



No, not in this world

No, not in the next

No, not in my wildest dreams



They recommended euthanasia

For non-conformists anywhere

Some men's dreams for others turn to nightmares

This never would have happened in my



{chorus}

Fly away...



No, not in this world

No, not in the next

No, not in my wildest dreams...

Gazing at our sunrise

Reflected in your clear eyes

Misty morning forest smoke fires



Make our way through the broken day

I couldn't stand to stay

Without you



We must keep moving

While the light is clearing

Leaving your dark world behind you



You have to run

Life is just begun

I'll never be alone

Without you



One chilling thought

Come screaming through the dark

I saw a yellow moon at midnight



And now you woke

Glowing in the smoke

I'm suddenly alone

Without you



Wanting things the way they used to be

You don't know what that can do to me

One more day, maybe never

Might as well be forever



Outside the light,fading as I write

And another night reminds me



As I sleep, memory that I keep

It's just another night

Without you



It seems so long

I've been holding on

Since I felt my arms around you



Time will go, both of us will know

Never be a day

Without you

The door swings open but you won't go it

You hate the movie that you haven't seen

You couldn't see what I have in mind

I see you laughing but you're

Cutting it, cutting it fine



You never should have done those things to me

There's one thread left 'tween you and history

And while our temperature is rising high

I'm warning you that you are

Cutting it, cutting it fine



Cutting it, cutting it fine...



You gambled all on one important game

Now take the debt and don't complain

Your game was up, I saw it all the time

I saw that vice, girl, you're

Cutting it, cutting it fine



Your sole advisor watch out for yourself

You never listen to anyone else

You were the one who ignored the signs

Dancing on a fine line

Cutting it, cutting it fine



Cutting it, cutting it fine...

All through the winter I thought I'd never see you again

Oh God where were you when I needed you

I know that you, no, you would never have betrayed me

I thought I'd die, why? All the reasons still evade me

But you're back



{chorus}

Now I can see you

Now I can feel you

Now that I want you

Now I can touch you

Next to me

Here it comes



Here comes the feeling

Here comes that same old feeling

Here comes the feeling

Here comes that same old feeling



This is for real, I never felt so good before

I see the world through different eyes

Now that you're back, nothing in the least can overcome me

Misery gone, plus all the doubt that overran me

But you're back



{chorus}



{repeat first verse}
