You're not yourself this evening
You chose the role you want to play
I draw the curtains for you
And drag you slowly off the stage
And wrap you up in eiderdown and leave you sleeping still and soundless
But we've lost track of time and now you have to open your eyes or be left behind
Or be left behind

But you wait for my hands to heal over
Wait for my eyes to dry
Then you take my breath away
Then you take my breath away

I wrap myself around you and drag you with me to the ground
And I pretеnd I know you
Through all these weaknеsses I've found
And frame you on my bedroom wall and watch you standing still and tall
And I'd like to break the glass to watch you walk
But you're so fast and I'm scared I'll be left behind
I'll be left behind

But you wait for my hands to heal over
Wait for my eyes to dry
Then you take my breath away
Then you take my breath away
I'll wait for my hands to heal over
Wait for my eyes to dry
Then you take my breath away
Then you take my breath away
