The Actor

The curtain rises on the scene

With someone shouting to be free

The play unfolds before my eyes

There stands the actor who is me

The sleeping hours take us far

From traffic, telephones and fear

Put out your problems with the cat

Escape until a bell you hear

Our reasons are the same

But there's no-one we can blame

For there's nowhere we need go

And the only truth we know comes so easily

The sound I have heard in your hello

Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me

Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see

Ah, ah, ah

It's such a rainy afternoon

No point in going anywhere

The sounds just drift across my room

I wish this feeling I could share

It's such a rainy afternoon

She sits and gazes from her window

Her mind tries to recall his face

The feeling deep inside her grows

Our reasons are the same

But there's no-one we can blame

For there's nowhere we need go

And the only truth we know comes so easily

The sound I have heard in your hello

Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me

Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see

The sound I have heard in your hello

Oh, oh, darling, you're all I'll ever see

Oh, oh, darling, you're almost part of me

Ah, ah, ah
