Be-Bop Deluxe - Crystal gazing Lyrics
The man who owneed the heartacheThat lived on the stairs...Passed me in the night whistling "Memories of You"...A stared to frightened to moveFor fear my eyes shown a lightOn the darkness he drew like a cloakAll around his shoulders...And the church on the cornerMarked the time for the motherWho was giving birth to a child across the hall...And I waited half in anger, half in sadnessFor an answer to the call for helpI had written on the wallAnd the rain fell like jewelsOn the heads of all the foolsWho wandered crazed with their souls ablaze for me...And the blessing of the hourWas the twilight and the towerWith its golden bell form the bottom of the sea...And the moon through the window of the bedroomWhere lovers slumberedMade a silver dance of such dust beneath the bed...And I waited for a moment in the lamplight,Crystal gazingListening to their heartsAnd the changing of their breath.Listening to their heartsAnd the changing of their breath.
