lyrics

The promises are broken now,
the dreams are all shattered,
and sad hearts are crying like nothing else mattered.
The storm has come again,
the stronger winds are blowing.
Everything else disappears,
but the light is still glowing. Oh...

Cold souls on the edge of bitterness inside.
Some found it long ago, just here for the ride.
Trying but always never quite coming through.
Going round in circles, but that's nothing new. Oh...

Everybody's out there for what they can get,
need to stay ahead of the game.
Caught in the rat race and missing the point,
yet they all end up just the same.

A lot of open minds at the market place tonight,
hoping for a hand or a guiding light.
Now and then the price of love gets lower and lower,
try to satisfy but find you're still wanting more. Oh...

Has nobody told them - there's another way?
Does nobody care now is this bitterness here to stay?
Does nobody know now - there's another way?

1994/95
