A searchlight plays in Holland park
as I sit silent in the dark
between a bluebird and a lark
who failed to make it trough
The sky above hangs dark and mute
We're tied to the ground like fallen fruit
Oh, Cupid sure knew how to shoot
the day that I met you
Don't say I did you wrong
I made you fit into my song
And you were there to sing it all night long
It's not a howl, it's not a scream
It's just the sound of the machine
The hero and the heroine
are learning about the tide
You looked so fine in Holland park
as we got ready to embark
I led you up onto the ark
An angel by my side
Love dies, love is born
For you I'd wear a crown of thorns
I hear a thousand voices in my head, they're ringing
'Thank you honey, I had a great time today
I used to be so silent, now the words are flowing'
