Her skin is like velvet Her face cut from stone Her eyes when she's smiling Will never reach home But hear how she sings Her touch would be tender Her lips would be warm But when we're together I'm always alone But hear how she sings Hear how she sings Hear how she sings Her skin is like velvet So, I went to her home Her place is like a palace With things, you can't hope Her skin is like velvet But hear how she sings But hear how she sings

The shadowside you say I have Is making everything go bad You say I don't care enough For all the things that I have got But I do And I will I don't want to see myself descend To the shadowside again If you ever let me go again In the shadowside I'll end The shadowside where I go I'm never where I'm needed so You say I don't give enough That I don't care for all I've got But I do And I will I don't want to let myself descend To the shadowside again If you're letting go of me again In the shadowside But I do And I will Yes, I will I don't want to let myself descend To the shadowside again If you're letting go of me again In the shadowside I'll end In the shadowside I'll end

Dearest, close your eyes now Don't you cry It's all right Lie back, leave the lights on It's all right, dear I'll be here through the night With you till the first signs of light Say the word and I'll come tonight It's all right now Don't you cry now Hush Wipe your tears away There's never a forever thing All through the night I'll try so hard to be there somehow With you till the first signs of light Say the word and I'll come Tonight Darling, don't you cry

I've fixed my dwelling for the night Lights in pairs come passing by Where I hide I need some time now on my own Leave my loneliness alone To lick my wounds Night has found me just in time To help me close my eyes One more time Living a boy's adventure tale In so many ways Living a boy's adventure tale For so many days I'm living a boy's adventure tale Can't escape, if I wanted to Living a boy's adventure tale I may be dreaming but I feel awake I've been lost in so many places Seeked love in so many faces A change of weather The rain pours down My head in hands Pressed to the ground And where am I supposed to go now Living a boy's adventure tale In so many ways Living a boy's adventure tale (aah) Living a boy's adventure tale A voice I hear Living a boy's adventure tale Singing a lullaby for me Living a boy's adventure tale Because of you Living a boy's adventure Oh you know it's true Living a boy's adventure tale In so many ways (aah) For so many days I love you. I love you So many ways
