The night is falling
Exposing the way to your soul
I will be pretending to know
When I hear you calling
You put my mind in a spell

You left me waiting
To let me become what I am
I am so utterly bound to your
Empty promise - I follow the way to your heart

Your stealing time
When you say, "We'll leave behind who we are".
Who we are? Yeah,

You know I'm just a fool for your heart
This lovin's gonna tear me apart
When the day comes
I get a feeling so empty inside
You're flying away like a magic carpet ride

I've been patient
But I still think that I'll find a way
Forever is only a moment in disillusion
How can I go on when I know...

Your stealing time
When you say, "We'll leave behind who we are".
Who we are? Yeah,

You know I'm just a fool for your heart
This lovin's gonna tear me apart
When the day comes
I get a feeling so empty inside
You're flying away

How long should I live a life of sorrow?
How long must I wait for your tomorrow?
You're having your fun at the cost of my pride
Is there never an end to this carnival ride?

You know I'm just a fool for your heart
This lovin's gonna tear me apart
When the day comes
I get a feeling so empty inside
You're flying away like a magic carpet ride

Yeah, you ride, ooh
