When silence comes and I focus all on the inside
I take a look into my past
Full of wrongs, full of rights
The story of my life
So many different places
Enjoyed so many Nights
I dance with chances
I made my way
Until this present day
Chorus:
You are one I'd give my life for
You are the one who is haunting my dreams
Oh, how I long to be yours forevermore
For all time our love shall be prime
I still see you dancing...
((That night in that shiny hall
The same old boring Gentry
Then you caught my eyes
You played your game
Used all your sweetest words
I was entertained,
But tell me are they true
Things they say about you
A mason and a spy
He knows all beds
Escaped the leads
Oh, Chevalier tell me another lie))
Chorus
Hold me -- ((How can I?))
A game -- ((like all your gambles?))
The only -- ((until this day is gone?))
Hold me -- ((How can I?))
A game -- ((like all your gambles?))
What can I do to change your mind?
Chorus
I'll make this vow tonight
I see all lights are low
Show me I have to go
Venice can ease all my pain
