Pages that lie here before me are temptation itself
Thoughts that rise up and draw me could've been left on the shelf
Papers with windows are forming an orderly press
There's no sense in ignoring, still I do, more or less
I'm finding out what you mean to me
You're all I'm wanting to hear, all I'm needing to see
Is everything always just as it seems?
I'm hanging on for the positive touch
Gazing at serpents that aren't there as such
Losing myself in maps and in dreams
The seas that surround, seven's enough
And the mountains abound as the skies climb above
Networks of colour impede, yet seem so inert
Acres of willing and need, borders of hurt
I'm finding out...
And I know love's in vain
Deserts on fire and chilled by the night
Cries of pain and desire move from dark into light
And at the edge of the page, dragons wait in the wings
But that was some other age, the future always begins
I'm finding out...
And I know love's in vain
Love's never in vain
