Just Around the Corner

Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain You can't know about everything, only pleasure and pain You wonder why I come here with head to my hands Where else can I be cured and the king of your mansion A thorn in your side, a child to protect That claims he's free Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection Darling come quickly, come ease my mind For my prayers have not been answered in a long time I've already made my bed, like it or not As long as there's no regrets I'll be here when the ride stops These comforts to me and these crosses to bear With which we live Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection Baby, I can't drag you into this mess I'm the thorn in your side and the child to protect And I'm just around the comer, half a mile to heaven Strong enough to hold you, starved for some affection Darling come quickly, come ease my worried mind For my prayers have not been answered in a long time
