Once upon a midnight dearie
I awoke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory
Of a phone call and a word you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who used to humour me and tell me lies
Yes humour me and tell me lies
And I lied too and say "I don't mind"
And "As we seek so shall we find"
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But knowing I had a certain degree of fear
Of what would be, for you and me
I still can see things hopefully for you
Why you wanna give me a runaround
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
That's right, you've shaked me in my confidence
About a great many things
But I've been there, I can see a coward
Like a nervous magician waiting in the wings
Of a bad play where the hero's arrayed
And nobody thinks or expects too much
And Hollywood's calling for the movie, right?
Singing "Hey babe, let's keep in touch"
Hey baby, let's keep in touch
But I want more than a touch, I want you to reach me
And show me all the things no one else can see
So what you feel becomes mine as well
And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell
What's yours and mine, the fishing's fine
And it doesn't have to rhyme, so don't you feed me a line
But you, why you wanna give me a runaround
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
Well, I don't know 'bout the dearlie's
But I'm speaking and I got some news for you
You see my ship's still there no matter what you drove it
There ain't a whole lot of a lot you can do
Oh sure the banner might be torn and the wind's gotten colder
Perhaps I've gone a little cynical
But I know no matter what the waitress brings
I shall drink it and always be full
Yeah my cup, it shall always be full
I like coffee and I like tea
Like to be able to enter fine or free
I still got this dream that you just can't shake
I love you dear, the point you can no longer take
Well alright, okay, it'll be that way
I'll hope and pray there'll be something left to say
But you, why you wanna give me a runaround
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
Oh you, why you wanna give me a runaround
Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up
When all it does is slow me down
I awoke with something in my head
I couldn't escape the memory
Of a phone call and a word you said
Like a game show contestant with a parting gift
I could not believe my eyes
When I saw through the voice of a trusted friend
Who used to humour me and tell me lies
Yes humour me and tell me lies
And I lied too and say "I don't mind"
And "As we seek so shall we find"
And when you're feeling open I'll still be here
But knowing I had a certain degree of fear
Of what would be, for you and me
