Verse
G Em G D C
Soldiers in dreams are like lovers who come without warning
Am C Am C D
And take you by surprise when you think you must make it alone
G Em G D C
Sooner or later their presence is only a memory
Am C D D7 G
But you know that without them you'd never have rolled back the stone
G Em G D C
And as lovers lie sleeping, I find myself travelling towards you
Am C Am C D
The morning arises, the wind is as soft as a sigh
G Em G D C
And whatever’s before me, is nothing to what I have come through
Am C D D7 G
The pain and the passion, the tears and the laughs and the lies
G Em G D C
My darling once told me that loving was better than living
Am C Am C D
But I told him survival for me was the easier game
G Em G D C
I couldn't live with him, now it's I can't live without him
Am C D D7 G
I thought I'd feel different, but somehow I still feel the same
G Em G D C
Romeo tells me that Juliet can't live without him
Am C Am C D
And Ophelia is crazy for Hamlet who wants to be King
G Em G D C
And away in the distance, Mark Anthony loves Cleopatra
Am C D D7 G
As Portia sits silent, soliloquizing in the wings
G Em G D C
So if lovers are loosers, what price the game we are playing?
Am C Am C D
And what price the man who has not got the money to pay?
G Em G D C
And the silence of angels means praying is just an illusion
Am C D D7 G
For the lost and the lonely and those who have nothing to say
