lyrics

Sleepless, thinkin’ about you, breathless,
another fairy tale, hush...

Yet one more night I’m sleepless here,
without dreams in the cold
(COLD AND UNTOLD)
A shade on my pillow, like a celluloid toy,
have I forgotten to hide or deny it all
(HIDE OR DENY ALL)

In this wake of the night, window still is open wide,
Did I fall, did I get up, if this race is over?
Shame on my pillow, so frail and so cold
(SHAME ON MY PILLOW SO FRAIL AND SO COLD)
And your voice in my head now is telling me “NO"
(IS TELLING ME NO)

Pray (PRAY) but the hand that you’re holding ain’t mine
Will the tide of the world
forever conceal our own strange deja-vu
(STRANGE DEJA-VU)
Still trying to find what it means,
and I have learned that paradise waits for a sign

Show me my fortune beyond all the vices
Of my own love dreaming, believing, unseeming,
Show me the tears that you shed
when you're lost in this dark lullaby
Hold me and softly teach me how to cry

In the night, I will reach and I’ll find you…blind
Tearing the pillow so I can forget you
(I BELONG TO YOUR PITY)
And you blessing my folly, that’s causing the rain
(OUR MOMENT IN TIME)
Drive out my feelings, destroying the chains
(DESTROYING THE CHAINS)

How many tears, (HOW MANY TEARS)
remember the time when we both played the game
In the night wind we ran and I’d be part of you
(PART OF YOU)
Now you feed me completely with loneliness I never lost
Please let me go (JUST LET ME GO)

How many tears, (HOW MANY TEARS)
remember the time when we both played the game
In the night wind we ran and I’d be part of you
(PART OF YOU)
Now you feed me completely with loneliness I never lost
Please let me go

(CELLULOID TOY, YOU’RE MY CELLULOID, CELLULOID TOY)
Beautiful, and nothing but a toy…
