Lyrics Demis Roussos

Demis Roussos

We Pretend

We pretend that the end hasn't found us

And we cling to the things left behind us

Line by line, every rhyme has been written

And time left us here unaware

In our eyes gentle sighs went unspoken

Yes, the days will remain unforgotten

Love went by and we tried once too often

To save all the dreams that we share

And here we stand, the silent strangers

Afraid to ask which way to go

Our empty hands at last surrender

The reason why we'll never know

We pretend that the end of our rainbow

Cannot die if it lies like a shadow

Willows bend when the wind blows to conquer

The leaves that have withered away

We can't run to the sun like we used to

Nothing lasts from the past that we once knew

You and I can deny that it's over

And yet we must face it somehow

Yet here we stand, the silent strangers

Afraid to ask which way to go

Our empty hands at last surrender

The reason why we'll never know

We pretend that the end hasn't found us

And we cling to the things left behind us

Line by line, every rhyme has been written

And time left us here unaware

In our eyes gentle sighs went unspoken

Yes, the days will remain unforgotten

Love went by and we tried once too often

To save all the dreams that we share
