Marc Almond - Barriers lyrics

Searching through the memory books

Of photographs your lovers took

Why play the game of place the pain

When you end up feeling just the same

Anyway...

Sleep comes so slowly now

So hard to keep the eyelids down

And you're hoping soon to drown the sound

Of a voice you know that whispers in

Your mind...

Ohit was a sadsad day

The day you turned away

And there was nothing in your eye

You had told me once you found it impossible

To cry...

I know you've been there and back

I've been there too

But it was never really deep in you

To do those things you had to do...

And in your sleepy bedroom eyes

I saw the signs

And I lay awake all night

In the cold

Until the light burned my side

And there was nothing

There was nothing anymore...

And there was nothing

Not a feeling

As you glanced back from the door...

Move away to find another place

That illustrates your point of view

Surrounded by the little things

That re-assure

That reflect you...

Ooooo and there was nothing

And there was nothing in my heart

And there was nothing in my head

The light in your eyes is changing all the time

And I still have your smile

Burned into my mind...
