John Waite - The Glittering Prize songtekst

Je score:

There's a silent movie running off, it's reel inside my mind
As I try to fall asleep tonight on prescription lullabyes
In the darkness there's a doorway
That leads me back to you forever

But these days there's only you and I in photographs
Ambitions and dreams we've shared
Now I wonder who has got the last laugh

'Cause I know you're crying
And you know I'm cold inside
Got no expectations for my pride
As I reach for that glittering prize

I remember on our wedding day, looking back at you
Our eyes met and we said goodbye as we both said "I do"
Didn't I make a promise, baby
I would stand by you forever?

But sometimes the best-laid plans flare up and blow away
And fairytale logic comes, sweeps you heart
Your soul, your world away

'Cause I know you're crying
And you know I'm cold inside
And I'm tired of living with that lie
And now time is flying
And you know I miss that fire
'Cos I feel for you
I've got desire
So I reach for that glittering prize

No doll's house dreams or Valentines
Just the future at the door
Just leaving trains and empty rooms
A broken band of gold
'Cause love don't live here anymore

And some nights I'll come and see you
And I know you'll let me in
Two strangers in silence now
'Cause you know in love
We could never win

'Cause I know you're crying
And you know I'm cold inside
And I'm tired of living with this lie
These days
'Cause now time is flying
And you know I miss that fire
'Cause I feel for you
I've got desire

Baby, baby
In my world tonight (in your world tonight)
Reach for that glittering prize (in my world)
That's all I ever seemed to do (in your world tonight)
Was reach for that glittering prize (in my world)
I lost myself when I lost you (in your world tonight)
As I reached for that glittering prize (in my world)
And I hope that all your dreams come true (in your world tonight)
When you reach for that glittering prize (in my world)
In your world
In my world tonight
