Ballad in 4/4 - The Dream Academy[00:00:00]

I was loving marry go[00:00:02]

For seven years out of eight[00:00:05]

We carried on in secrecy[00:00:09]

In shadows I would wait[00:00:13]

I learned to love with her other life[00:00:17]

I wouldn't let it break us down[00:00:22]

'Cause she said what she did behind my back[00:00:25]

Was unimportant when I was around[00:00:30]

One night when the leaves had turned to gold[00:00:34]

I sold my love for change[00:00:38]

I met a younger single girl[00:00:42]

And the balance got rearranged[00:00:46]

Maybe it helped me to feel less vulnerable[00:00:50]

Maybe it was just a seven year itch[00:00:54]

And I got a job with more money but I[00:00:59]

Lost the very thing that made me rich[00:01:03]

Months went by without incident[00:01:10]

'Though I was living a life of lies[00:01:14]

Calculated to protect the innocent[00:01:18]

But when I saw her she would cry[00:01:22]

She begged me to tell her it was all over now[00:01:27]

She cried for me to set her free[00:01:32]

But I had to hold on to everything[00:01:36]

Couldn't bear to let her forget about me[00:01:40]

Oh well the rain was falling down[00:01:45]

And so she went away[00:01:50]

And I was buoyed up by the praise of sycophants[00:01:53]

And the false security of the take home pay[00:01:58]

Maybe she wrote just to see if I loved her still[00:02:03]

Maybe she wrote just to say goodbye[00:02:07]

But I never saw the words she wrote[00:02:11]

Only the tears that were in my eyes[00:02:16]

One day when the leaves are green again[00:02:23]

Maybe she'll let me in[00:02:27]

We'll sit and talk about everything[00:02:31]

Just like we were old friends[00:02:35]

But I couldn't ever get used to it[00:02:39]

No I wouldn't let it break us down[00:02:43]

'Cause I know what I did behind her back[00:02:47]

Was unimportant when she was around[00:02:51]

Unimportant when she was around[00:02:56]

Unimportant when she was around[00:03:00]

She was around[00:03:07]

But I couldn't ever get used to it[00:03:10]

No I wouldn't let it break us down[00:03:14]
