All of these grateful looksAll these grateful eyesAll the furious stares and the fretful sighsPromising everythingTo everyoneWe'll be back soonYou're my favorite oneAnd I'll keep it quietI'll hold you dearYour whisperin fills the earTell me you'll stayWe would have such funAnd a lie, you don't need anyoneAnd the screams, the wails, and the callThe headiness of the FallTen-thousand miles from where we beganI fell asleep with a picture in handIt was all for a womanYou say that you're grateful for the time aloneTwo years away and I don't miss homeAnd everyone asks you if you still think of herSongtexteSo you smile politely and you demurBut then all at once your head starts to swellAnd you can feel her breath on your skinIf I let you stay, the same spot todayShe's above you, below you in waysAnd you're shiverin coldLike you're just 10 years oldAnd she's lying asleep in your bedAnd you're standing beside herThe light from inside herFilling up the darkness in your headIt was all for a womanAnd you've drowned in the teasingYou've forgotten the reasonThe muse inspired the artYou'd give anything forHer to say them once moreThe words you believed at the startTen-thousand miles from where it beganFalling asleep with a picture in handAnd it was all... it was allFor the look in her eyesOf the promise of the light of a woman Aus Songtexte Mania
