In your darkest hours
Did you ever give it back?
Well, I have
I have given that to you
And if it’s all I ever do
This is your song

Eyes on him, all alone
On the edge of seventeen

To the gypsy
That remains
Her face says freedom
With a little fear

When you walked into my house
That you won’t be walking out the door

You’re the poet in my heart
Never change
Never stop

Have you any dreams you’d like to sell
Dreams of loneliness

And wouldn’t you love to love her
She rules her life like a bird in flight
