Pretence Lyrics


Hiding your eyes you were here for me

I gladly fall for such colorful trickery

as, beyond ice and night and misery

and within it a warm hearted soul

my only success is in pretence !

Hiding your eyes you were here for me

My heart sees in the sky its own painted portrait

How the storm has torn

The grey mantle of heaven !

The wisps of cloud flutter about, jostling feebly

I reckon this a morning

to match my frame of mind !

There is nothing

A friendly light dances in front of me

There is nothing

It is nothing but winter

I follow it high and low

I follow it

As it lures the traveler onward

Anybody as wretched as I

My heart sees in the sky its own painted portrait
