Wear your Sunday best<br /> See your shoes are shined – right<br /> Check the stage is set<br /> For another clean – fight<br /> <br /> And you laugh<br /> And you sing<br /> and pray<br /> You’ll be understood<br /> Some other working day. <br /> <br /> When the house is lit<br /> When the strangers leave<br /> When the only sound <br /> Is the air you breath <br /> <br /> When the morning train<br /> Brings another day<br /> And an old refrain<br /> Slowly fades away <br /> <br /> When the tired streets<br /> Are your lonely host<br /> And the only guests <br /> Are the other ghosts <br /> <br /> When your mind is still<br /> When your pulse is slow<br /> When your thoughts return<br /> To all you long to know <br /> <br /> Who are you?<br /> <br /> In a shifting sky<br /> On a sleepless night<br /> In the silent truce<br /> Of a lovers’ fight <br /> <br /> In a moment freed<br /> In a stolen glance<br /> In forbidden steps<br /> To a secret dance <br /> <br /> In a knowing look<br /> From a covered face<br /> In a holy book<br /> In a sacred place <br /> <br /> In a final bow<br /> In a virgin kiss<br /> In the dying breath <br /> Of a moments bliss
