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 |
