Close Of The Day Lyrics

tell me your fields are aflower with poppies posing tell me they've been waiting for hours for the close of the day tell me do you seize the emotions fading murmers (anyone home?) tell me I've got magical potions rising from the gramophone so you say you want me so you say you need me would you say you'd follow me through all the confusion falling flowers fade away so you think that you just may come in time to leave before I sense the intrusion God help me if I get there long before you and find a way to build a fence without you and hide in places where I keep me from you tell me nothing's lost on the journey I lost track so long ago tell me to ignore every warning shooting sparks on barren coasts so suppose it's real to you so suppose I feel it, too every indication leading back to whence from where it came all the peace that we had found was left there on the proving ground in the place where destiny had once played her vision game God help me when I get this way when all the calm within is inside out and all I feel is numb God help me when I get this way and think that we have nothing left to say 'cause I want you to stay because you want to I want you to stay because you need to I want you to stay and not have to ask you but you're talking to me and you're telling me everything you think I should know you're talking at me and you're telling me one more thing before I have to go and you're telling me I should be careful I could get hurt but I thought if I changed the room around something would give but nothing did and all I'm left with is an unfamiliar place to lay my head and in this place where I have made my bed he seeps into my dreams and says he has nothing left to give so I suppose the time has come to live God help me when I get this way when all the calm within is inside out and all I feel is numb God help me when I get this way and think that we have nothing left to say 'cause I want you to stay because you want to I want you to stay because you need to I want you to stay and not have to ask you
