The Chameleon

Like stars up in a clouded sky I stand obscured from view With shining eyes that did not lie I turn the pages for you The silent shadow in the night I smile before I steal Behind locked doors, in emptiness I am the things you do Now, I am your only friend You must love the chameleon Not child, not man, no living thing You have no time for rest No thoughts, no words to comfort you No smile or soft caress I am the rock, the wishing well The secret to your fear The lighted candle burning bright The call from distant years Now, I am your only friend You must love the chameleon Now, I am your only friend You must love the chameleon I said, now, I am your only friend Oh, you must love the chameleon Oh, no --- The Chameleon - Noir Désir
