By that look in your eye

that subtle disdain

by that cross on your back

you carry in vain

I sense a deception

truth was never told


Watch this fire at your feet

from standing on line

blaze wild as it gently gets fanned

by the broad wing of time


A storybook romance

it ends in happy ever after

But as far as she's noticed there's just

once upon a time


Don't cry

you choose what you sow

and what you reap


wish it well

what you gave away

and bless what you keep


You made your own mind

it falls down on you

you're all caught up in love

and wishes that won't come true

in that bed that you made
