You Keep Me Going


I was born of your wisdom, I came out of your dreams,
And it’s too late now to say you don’t know what I mean,
‘Cos I was yours and you were mine and we were ours and they were theirs
And, if you’re with me now, then baby I need more than just your prayers

Chorus
‘Cos I’m playing the part of an angel that has fallen from the heavens,
And I’m naked and I’m running and I know that I’m alone in this night
And I am tempted by the fountain but the devil knows I won’t destroy the flowers
I have known what love can do and I’ll believe it ‘till I see the morning light

I’ve closed my eyes and let them hold me down and kiss me on the mouth
But it wasn’t you so I came to and said they had to cut it out
‘Cos I was spinning in infinity of fears you were not real
But, how could that be true? How could I feel the way that I did feel?

Chorus

Well I fell back in wonder and awe at the ghosts that I’d seen
Of the lovers who knew me and wanted to crown me their queen
And the wheel that kept moving while the bell rang out clear in the night
Though the clock, it stood still, and the time, it ran out of my sight

Yes, I fell back in wonder and awe at the ghosts that I’d seen
Of the lovers who knew me and wanted to crown me their queen
And the wheel that kept moving while the bell rang out clear in the night
Though the clock, it stood still, and the time, it ran out of my sight


But you kept me going
Just like you keep me going
Repeat...
