In a dream he came to me, like a wizard in a make believenSaid he'd show me how to breathenSaid he'd carry me across the seanGonna wake me from my sleepnPulling me up my soul to keepnSay the words but never speaknMake me strong but keep me weaknnWant to touch the starry goatnSee the archer with his bownWatch the lion running freenAnd the scales that tip for menAnd he's gonna take me therennPut out the stars, they are no use tonightnThere are no words to make it rightnFrom what has been to what has begunnBeneath the setting sunnUndream these empty hopes of minenUnread your words between the linesnAnd draw some strength from what we've donenBeneath the setting sunnnNow he's bringing me to my kneesnFrom the veins the love did bleednLike a film without a screen or a ghost that's never seennTried to stop him but he closed the doornWant to take him to a time beforenSee the things that I've seennBe the people that I've beennnTouch the fish in heavens seanWatch the crab upon the beachnFire glows between the twinsnI carry water for my sinsnAnd the sun is coming downnnPut out the stars, they are no use tonightnThere are no words to make it rightnFrom what has been to what has begunnBeneath the setting sunnUndream these empty hopes of minenUnread your words between the linesnAnd draw some strength from what we've donenBeneath the setting sunnnYou said you'd walk with me againnLike a bull you burst my damnHorns as sharp as any ramnNow the scorpion has stungnI'm like a virgin on the runnI dont think he's coming homennPut out the stars they are no use tonightnThere are no words to make it rightnFrom what has been to what has begunnBeneath the setting sunnnUnlearn each game we had to playnUnsay each promise that we madenThe war is lost but the battle is wonnBeneath the setting sun
