Stage Whispers

Well I'm waiting in the wings with all the strings

And things that help me make the music

Just another curtain call before I fall

Into you arms again, my beauty

This guitar does not lie

The great deception is not my achievement

The spotlight falls upon the fool

Who sings of love then acts so cool

And then calmly smiles

I play the clown

The hero torn between the darkness

And the dawn's deceiving light

This guitar does not lie

The great deception is not my achievement

Where is the one who knows

The shape of things to come

The thrills that I have won

The kiss that time's begun for me

Well I've found another stage

Another page to turn

A harsher pain to answer to

But I'm giving all my feelings

To the things that I believe in

That's all I can do

This guitar does not lie

The great deception is not my achievement

Well I'm waiting in the wings with all the strings

And things that help me make the music
