Illusions

    courtesy of Joesi :)


    Here goes everything down to the wire
    I'm gonna sing like a canary on fire
    and the world won't stop, but maybe you will stay
    I apologize for rocking the boat
    But my heart gets caught on those lumps in my throat
    And these word just miss my lips somewhere along the way

    You and me, we got no more illusions
    wildcards or shadows of a doubt
    But the end ain't a foregone conclusion
    Oh baby can we live without illusions

    Our long shadows cast here in the moonlight
    cross the lawn and fade from our sight
    and the world beyond is turning like a wheel
    Every step we take is out of the past.
    Everybody says "Darling, we won't last."
    But they don't know what we know or feel what we feel

    You and me, we got no more illusions
    wildcards or shadows of a doubt
    But the end ain't a foregone conclusion
    Oh baby can we live without illusions

    I can't pretend that the sparks are still flying
    or the ember is burning stronger
    At least by now I might be getting real good at trying
    Can we try a little longer?

    You and me, we got no more illusions
    wildcards or shadows of a doubt
    But the end ain't a foregone conclusion
    Oh baby can we live without illusions
