I've Lost My Illusions
Somewhere there's a story of a
man of great mind
He was caring and daring and never unkind
His heart was pure, and his eyes were so clear
Somewhere there's a story, but now I know that it's not here
CHORUS:
I've lost my illusions, I don't
know just how
And if you should find them, return them; for now
I've got nothing to tell me just what to pretend
And I've got a feeling that I'll never see them again
Your eyes are just mirrors of all that they see
And your voice poses riddles, and never to me
But you finally answered, in your own foolish way
The only question that you'd never venture to say
CHORUS
If I ever find those illusions of mine
I'll mend them with stitches, I'll bind them with twine
I'll cover the errors with beautiful lies
Maybe then I'll be able to look at you
With the same old eyes...
CHORUS
And I've got a feeling that I'll never see you again
