Voyeur

I'm looking, I'm looking back

I'm trying to imagine this and that

The simple mathematics making up the map

Insurance of protection from immediate collapse

I'm watching, I'm watching you

A voyeur from a different point of view

The solitary eyes that I've been looking through

Committed to connecting the old ways to the new

And I see things

Through a curtain blowing back against the rain

Through the crack in a door that heaves with pain

And through every gap that gives away

Some secret in the dark

I'll come away with something

To keep you in my heart

I'm searching, I'm setting out

To prove without a shadow of a doubt

The age-old contradiction that's hovering about

A whisper in the darkness

Holds more truth than a shout

I'm waiting, I'm waiting for

Telltale footsteps on the bedroom floor

A broken hearted lover simply looking for

Relief that's temporary from her dirty little war

And I see things

From the ceilings of a hundred hotel rooms

From a satellite that's bouncing off the moon

And from every telescope

That's focused in on someplace dark

I'll come away with something to keep you in my heart

Yes I see things

From the highest branch that looks directly in

Through a hawk's eyes gliding silent on the wind

And in every secret rendezvous where illicit lovers park

I'll come away with something to keep you in my heart
