The whisper of your mind

Back in 1985 when cupid saw me take a dive
I didn't think that I'd still be
Thinking of you now so wistfully
You never took me through your hallway
Never led me up the stairs
Past the years of useless longing
And where you used to say your prayers

And, yes, it's hard for me to stay
Harder still for me to stay away

CHORUS:
The whisper of your mind
Ties the flowers to the rain
The window of your dream
Voices the sun on your lips

You know what stopped you liking music
Well, that's what always held you back
What puts emotion at an arm's length
And takes the very thing you lack
For you're not shallow, you're not godless
We all need something to believe
And you believe you've lost that something
Just lost the will to be deceived

And, yes, it's hard for me to stay
Harder still for me to stay away
