Behind the Lines (Live From The Lyceum Theatre, London, 6th & 7th May 1980)

Behind the lines

I held the book so tightly in my hands. I saw your picture, heard you call my name. There was something strange, I could not look away. I wanted to be there, I wanted to go

You gave me no warning. You gave no reason

But I was with you. Right by your side. Just give me the strength, and I will help you. And they can try their hardest, ‘cos they don't frighten me

It is written in the book

It is hotter than I've known before, but I feel so cold and I don't know why. But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm, then I really believe, you could make it right

Ooh the time has come now. We must show our feelings. But I'm looking right through you, and your heart is empty

Whatever happened to you it's too late to change now. There's nowhere you can run to, no place to hide. Ah you let me down!

...but wait a minute, I don't understand. It's getting stronger, so grab my hand. Don't wanna leave you, don't wanna go, but I'm losing all control

Can't you see me? I'm slipping away. I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here

It is written in the book

Oh so many times since then I've read those words. Just waiting to see you, can you see me?
