The Barclay James Harvest

The Barclay James Harvest - Mr. E lyrics

I know that you think I'm the lonely one

Those black clouds always follow me

No silver lining there for you to find

No star-struck prince on bended knee

And every day you're searching hard

For something you can't find

Broken dreams and promises

The feelings you can't hide

You fool yourself there's nothing wrong

'Cause truth is on your side

I'll take your truth and give you back a lie

My secret lives in your deceit

Innocence crumbles in the face of your greed

That's why they call me Mr. E

And every day you're searching hard

For something you can't find

A hollow-hearted love that pays

With pictures for the blind

My vision is a window to the

Bottom of your soul

This blindness is the way you feel

About yourself and no one else

Let me take you down to the river side

Hold your hand and lead you in

I can take you down to the river side

But only you can swim

I know no magic forest in this part of town

No mystic rainbow's end, no gold for free

The colours lift you up I push you down

That's why they call me Mr. E

And every day you're searching hard

For something you can't find

The pomise lies in endless dreams

A nightmare's what you find

My promise is a window to

The bottom of your soul

This nightmare is the way you feel

About yourself and no one else

Let me take you down to the river side

Hold your hand and lead, lead you in.

I can take you down to the river side

But only you can swim

Let me take you down, down to the river side

Hold your hand and lead you in

I can take you down to the river side

But only you can swim
