Great Expectations |
Great expectations I have to find |
I want to tell you what it was like |
My recollection is not too clear |
So much hope and so much fear |
Long conversations into the night |
Not like that, oh no, not so black and white |
The great temptation’s to try and please you |
Play with you thought and mind and tease you |
If I could tell my story in a song |
I’d have to make it fast, yes it’s very long |
Many shades of grey between the right and wrong |
Day for night, night for day |
All the stories on this way |
Feel the fire burn away |
So turn the lights down low, come over here |
Stay with me, don’t go, you’ll see my characters appear |
The storyteller’s magic doesn’t lie |
He’ll make you laugh to make you cry |
Real for me is real for you |
What I say is almost true |
Day for night, night for day |
All the stories on it’s way |
Feel the fire burn and play |
The story’s ended now you’re on your own |
Let’s say a little prayer, go home |
