Sign Of Life (old Song)
You put your hands over my eyes
And I walked right into the surprise
Of an empty room, that was
more than cruel and less than kind
And while you pulled the wool over my eyes
I should have seen the seams of your disguise
Cause I know the signs
And I’m looking for a sign of life:
Something to say this past of mine was genuine
In the morning a red sky cries a warning
That a sailor should know –
How could I have missed the signs so?
On your seas I was tossed
As your heart blew across and over me
The coldest wind and I was lost
You would have let me drown
When I was failing around
Well I can tread for so long
But how I prayed for a calm
And you say a rescue doesn’t make a good song
So I’m looking for a sign of life -
Oh please could you throw me a line
Or at least a lie?
And I’m looking for a sign of life.
I see that branch in your hand:
Don’t you understand
I’m going under again?
Well you pulled a veil over my eyes
And I thought we were walking on water this whole time
But now I know why my feet are dry.
