The Red Weed (Part 1) - Richard Burton

It all looks different now But it was right in front of me The memories fall around Of everything I used to be Can I let it go When I still feel your echoes? I watched you disappear But I can't make myself believe I gave it all, but you were fading Where'd you go? All alone I couldn't stay Another fall through the dark of the shadows I reached for you, only you There's still a part A part that's holding on And can we call it fair? Or was it just a dire game? Who's the winner now When I can't even speak your name? Caught inside the dream When you were reaching back for me Did you get lost inside Or did you disappear? I gave it all, but you were fading Where'd you go? All alone I couldn't stay Another fall through the dark of the shadows I reached for you, only you There's still a part A part that's holding on You went dark on me Never tried to see What it's like to be The one who lost it all Did you find your way? Is there still a place? Is there a part of you that's holding on? Still holding on? I gave it all, but you were fading Where'd you go? Where'd you go? I gave it all, but you were fading Where'd you go? All alone I couldn't stay Another fall through the dark of the shadows I reached for you, only you There's still a part A part that's holding on A part that's holding on A part that's holding on

You dragged the depths of my soul Until you found it A darkened room locked away I let you in You looked inside then you turned away My makeshift savior He left me right here in my chains But still I whisper (I'm calling out) Still I call you I never wanted you to see The darkest part of me I knew you'd run away I waited but you never came So afraid to be alone I tried to let you go Still I find you lost inside the darkest part of me It's my descent, a familiar pain Of watching all I believed fade away Of traitors and fools Of beggars and thieves Which mask will you choose? What is underneath? I never wanted you to see The darkest part of me I knew you'd run away I waited but you never came So afraid to be alone I tried to let you go Still I find you lost inside the darkest part of me Am I the black stain of your perfect life? Am I the darkness that you need to hide? It covers you It spills over you I never wanted you to see The darkest part of me I knew you'd run away I waited but you never came So afraid to be alone I tried to let you go Still I find you lost inside the darkest part of me

Young love living fast Glitter shines through crystal glass Looking like we just fell down right from the start Two wheels on the track Till the end, then hell and back Run your fingers through the wind like you can fly Screaming, roaring engines bleeding We're on fire Blind desire Running through the wire Young and dangerous Nothing can change us Kill back the fire, fire Running wild like fire, fire Running wild like fire, fire Running wild like fire Heaven's in your eyes Like an angel in disguise Hold on tight And spread your wings into the night See the road now right to the core Ride the lightning right into the storm Blazing off the edge of the world I feel us, where no one can hear us We're on fire Blind desire Running through the wire Young and dangerous Nothing can change us Kill back the fire, fire Running wild fire, fire Running wild like fire, fire Running wild like fire We're on fire Blind desire Running through the wire Young and dangerous Nothing can change us Kill back the fire, fire Running wild like fire, fire Running wild like fire, fire Running wild like fire

It's true, it's true, the crown has made it clear The climate must be perfect all the year A law was made a distant moon ago here July and August cannot be too hot And there's a legal limit to the snow here in Camelot The winter is forbidden till December And exits March the second on the dot By order, summer lingers through September in Camelot Camelot: Camelot I know it sounds a bit bizarre But in Camelot: Camelot That's how conditions are The rain may never fall till after sundown By eight, the morning fog must disappear In short, there's simply not a more congenial spot For happily ever after in than here in Camelot Camelot: Camelot I know it gives a person pause But in Camelot: Camelot Those are the legal laws The snow may never slush upon the hillside By nine p.m. the moonlight must appear In short, there's simply not a more congenial spot For happily ever after in than here in Camelot
