Who comes easier
To the ones who have the vision
All it takes is some persuasion
To make it shine
To make it rain
No one else is the master of thee
I am him and him is me

But I Digress
02:48

And if I may count the rays of the days
And if I can find the rose in the hay
There’s no time and there's no place
She says love ain’t no kind of escape
And you spell love just like hate
And you fly doves on the dock of the bay
And all the words on the tip of your tongue
Are not present in any of your songs
And if these men all spoke the truth
Now there’s no time to find the roots
The ones that lead to flowers in May
The ones that thrive on sunshine and rain
And if I may count the rays of the days
And if I can find the rose in the hay
There’s no time and there's no place
She says love ain’t no kind of escape
And you spell love, and you spell hate
And all the words on the tip of your tongue
Are not present in any of your songs

What An Illusion
02:18
|
|
||
One by one or two by two
A crystal one for a rendez-vous
I thank the Lord for you everyday
No flower lost when you pave the way
What an illusion, when love comes in the way
What an intrusion
Now if I’m the one to pull you through
Now if I’m the one to make you do
The dreams untied by a winter’s day
And a chilly night in the summer’s way
3, 2, 1
What an illusion, when love comes in the way
What an intrusion, when love comes in the way
One by one or two by two
A crystal one for a rendez-vous
I thank the Lord for you everyday
No flower lost when you pave the way
What an illusion, yeah
What an illusion, when love comes in the way
What an intrusion, when love comes in the way

Hey girl, are you out of your mind?
It takes a little effort to skip your line
Hey girl, are you out of shape?
It takes a little dirty to make it a clean slate
