about

A walk through a deserted seaside funfair.

lyrics

THE PRINCE

And so the day breaks
(Guess your mind's not made up again)
The calls of a war come
(But I've always been so very numb, so very numb)

And you'd just say: "Open up,
You've got the wings of a dove!"
(But if nothing here's broke, nothing needs to be fixed right now)

And you'd say: "You, my love,
You've got the glory from above!"
(But there ain't no use dreaming for an answer, it's seeming, right?
Right now!)

But oh! All the love's gone!
(So I'm back to my roots to learn to live a little too)
And oh! I could curse it!
(But the chances are the throne'll fall into the wrong hands if I do)

(Thought I'd give up instead
Right then, just when you said
Though I could never see a trace of the path ahead)

But I said: "Don't be scared!
Your whole life's up ahead!
A love could be gone, but it always would be in your heart, right
And in your head
Said
A love could be gone, but it always would be in your heart, right
And
In
Your
Head.
