Lyrics
Read between the lines, the meaning in the slightest whisper
Play the part, the action?s waiting on the wings
Some like to talk, walk on the scene til they see another
Some like to stalk, how close is as close as possible?
In one act in another play, you came and swept it all away
In one dream of another time, you said you?d never cross the line for me.
Lie between the sheets, crying as you?re sighing on a washed-out day
Words of sleep: how far is as far as possible?
In one act in another play, you came and swept it all away
In one dream of another time, you said you?d never cross the line for me.
Smiling, and a bow, you think you pull the strings
Crowd is getting warmer, the light begins to sing
Time won?t stop for waiting, the script won?t stop for clues.
In one act in another play, you came and swept it all away
In one dream of another time, you said you?d never cross the line
In one dream of another shore, you said you?d never close the door
In one life as another soul, you said you?d never play the role
In one act in another play, you came and swept it all away.
