Grey Eye Glances Follow

tell me your fields are aflower
with poppies posing
tell me they've been waiting for hours
for the close of the day
tell me do you seize the emotions
fading murmers (anyone home?)
tell me I've got magical potions
rising from the gramophone
so you say you want me
so you say you need me
would you say you'd follow me
through all the confusion
falling flowers fade away
so you think that you just may
come in time to leave
before I sense the intrusion
God help me if I get there long before you and find a way to build a fence without you and hide in places where I keep me from you
tell me nothing's lost on the journey
I lost track so long ago
tell me to ignore every warning
shooting sparks on barren coasts
so suppose it's real to you
so suppose I feel it, too
every indication
leading back to whence from where it came all the peace that we had found
was left there on the proving ground
in the place where destiny
had once played her vision game
God help me when I get this way
when all the calm within is inside out
and all I feel is numb
God help me when I get this way
and think that we have nothing left to say 'cause I want you to stay
because you want to
I want you to stay
because you need to
I want you to stay
and not have to ask you
but you're talking to me
and you're telling me everything
you think I should know
you're talking at me
and you're telling me one more thing
before I have to go
and you're telling me
I should be careful
I could get hurt
but I thought if I changed the room around something would give
but nothing did
and all I'm left with
is an unfamiliar place to lay my head
and in this place where I have made my bed he seeps into my dreams
and says he has nothing left to give
so I suppose the time has come to live
God help me when I get this way
when all the calm within is inside out
and all I feel is numb
God help me when I get this way
and think that we have nothing left to say 'cause I want you to stay
because you want to
I want you to stay
because you need to
I want you to stay
and not have to ask you
