The Captive Heart Lyrics

The old clock is still ticking now
Marks the space between us
Your memory enshrouds my heart
for I am held captive

Sometimes my soul desires
to take leave of this old world
To spread these golden wings and fly
to the city of angels

But then If I close my eyes
I can see you standing there
Your face in permanence smiles
Your lips a chalice

Seems like I've loved you all my life
Never thought I'd find you
One day the muse may lend these words wings
so I can touch you

But hey!
Don't worry if the feelings not strong for you
I have lived my life in accordance
to the windfalls of passion
Though I know what it means
to be loved and then forgotten
I have seen too many men
driven insane by their distractions

The old clock is still ticking now...
