Barriers

Searching through the memory books Of photographs your lovers took Why play the game of place the pain When you end up feeling just the same Anyway Sleep comes so slowly now So hard to keep the eyelids down And you're hoping soon to drown the sound Of a voice you know that whispers in Your mind Oh, it was a sad, sad day The day you turned away And there was nothing in your eye You had told me once you found it impossible To cry I know you've been there and back I've been there too But it was never really deep in you To do those things you had to do And in your sleepy bedroom eyes I saw the signs And I lay awake all night In the cold Until the light burned my side And there was nothing There was nothing anymore And there was nothing Not a feeling As you glanced back from the door Move away to find another place That illustrates your point of view Surrounded by the little things That re-assure That reflect you Ooooo and there was nothing And there was nothing in my heart And there was nothing in my head The light in your eyes is changing all the time And I still have your smile Burned into my mind --- Barriers - Soft Cell
