Lyrics

“E-X” MARKS THE SPOT

I’m standing here, all alone,
My back up against the wall
I politely refuse the blindfold;
I’ve got to see it all
The way through.
I’ve got to see myself
Living without you.
“E-X” marks the spot
Where I fell in love with you.
“E-X” marks the spot
Where we both said, “I do.”
“E-X” marks the spot
Where our true love died.
“E-X” marks the spot
Where I sat and cried.
I’m sitting here, in solitude,
Staring at the door,
Wondering if you’ll ever find
What you’ve been searching for.
Wondering how you could turn
To not caring anymore.
I peer out my window
Beyond the autumn trees,
And ponder my destiny.
Yonder lie deserts of vast eternity.

“E-X” marks the spot
Where I fell in love with you.
“E-X” marks the spot
Where we both said, “I do.”
“E-X” marks the spot
Where our true love died.
“E-X” marks the spot
Where I sat and cried.

I’m lying here, in loneliness,
Trying to unearth your memory.
The deeper that I dig,
The less there is to see.
Everything seems worthless to me.
Everything seems worthless to me.

“E-X” marks the spot
Where I fell in love with you.
“E-X” marks the spot
Where we both said, “I do.”
“E-X” marks the spot
Where our true love died.
“E-X” marks the spot
Where I sat and cried.
“E-X” marks the spot
Where I sat and cried.
