In a world of hope and promises

I had a dream of love and blissful happiness

I imagined myself with the perfect life

Where all that matters to me could be mine

But somehow it passed me by

And left me stranded here

I'm running out of time

Too late for me I fear

If wishing alone could turn out the light

I'd have drifted away to the welcoming night

If I could escape just by closing my eyes

I'd already be safe under different skies

Thought I'd found my fairy tale

A bed of roses, how could we fail?

With everything we needed to be free

No storm ahead that we could foresee

Still somehow it slipped away

A cruel mirage it seems

To lure me through my days

Yet still appeals to me

If wishing alone could turn out the light

I'd have drifted away to the welcoming night

If I could escape just by closing my eyes

I'd already be safe under different skies

You've got me on my knees

Do you want me to say please?

I can't go on!

If wishing alone could turn out the light

I'd have drifted away to the welcoming night

If I could escape just by closing my eyes

I'd already be safe under different skies
