The Glittering Prize

There's a silent movie Running off its reel inside my mind As I try to fall asleep tonight On prescription lullabyes In the darkness there's a doorway That leads me back to you forever But these days there's only You and I in photographs Ambitions and dreams we've shared Now I wonder who has got the last laugh Cause I know you're crying And you know I'm cold inside Got no expectations for my pride And I reach for that glittering prize I remember on our wedding day Looking back at you Our eyes met and we said goodbye As we both said "I do" Didn't I make a promise baby I would stand by you forever But sometimes the best-laid plans Flare up and blow away And fairytale logic comes Sweeps you heart Your soul'Your world away Cause I know you're crying And you know I'm cold inside And I'm tired of living with that lie And now time is flying And you know I miss that fire But I feel for you I've got desire So I reach for that glittering prize No doll's house dreams Or valentines Just the future at the door
