Moving in waves over all that you feel,

Avoiding the shadows and what they conceal,

Then the waves start to break, and the shadows are real,

So you reach out to someone who holds an ideal.



But they don't say what you really need to hear,

They don't know what it is they try to say,

They all play, ooooh, that same old easy song,

You don't know who is right or who is wrong.



Tell me now,

You always had the answer before,

Tell me now,

The answer is no answer at all,

Tell me now,

Really need to see you tonight,

Tell me now,

Will I ever see you again?



And the words that invade only shattered the frame

That you built with your life, no-one takes any blame,

People burned you with reasons, you're caught in the flame,



They don't say what you know you need to hear,

They don't know, then you tell them how you feel,

They don't play a song that you can sing



Tell me now,

You always had the answer before,

Tell me now,

The answer is no answer at all,

Tell me now,

Really need to see you tonight,

Tell me now,

Will I ever see you again?
