Cross My Heart |
| I don’t know |
| But it seems that every single dream’s |
| Painted pretty pictures in the air |
| Then it tumbles in despair |
| And it starts to bend until by the end it’s a nightmare |
| But I’m gonna give all that I’ve got to give |
| Cross my heart, and I hope to live |
| I don’t know |
| But I find the speedy hands of time |
| Are waving out a warning on the wall |
| But nobody heeds the call |
| And the soldier obeys while the parson prays for his downfall |
| But I’m gonna give all that I’ve got to give |
| Cross my heart, and I hope to live |
| I don’t know |
| But it’s true, so many things you do |
| Please you so they leave you feeling warm |
| It’s the calm before the storm |
| For the habit grows and before you know it you’re deformed |
| So I’m gonna give all that I’ve got to give |
| Cross my heart, and I hope to live |
| I don’t know |
| But I feel that safety isn’t real |
| With everybody acting all the same |
| For the rules will ruin the game |
| So I go my way laughing while they say that I’m insane |
| Yes I’m gonna give all that I’ve got to give |
| Cross my heart, and I hope to live |
| I don’t know |
| But I see that every thing is free |
| When you’re young and treasures you can take |
| But the bridge is bound to break |
| And you reach the end screaming «It's all been a mistake» |
| So I’m gonna give all that I’ve got to give |
| Cross my heart, and I hope to live |
| Well I don’t know |
| But it seems that every single dream’s |
| Painted pretty pictures in the air |
| Then it tumbles in despair |
| And it starts to bend |
| Until by the end it’s a nightmare |
| But I’m gonna give all that I’ve got to give |
| Cross my heart, and I hope to live |
