They never fail to get the better of me They are trained to put up walls and follow rules Put on rings and keep their vows Too wild for their own understanding I can see what they need and I can see The Fear that keeps them standing still I have The Fear too But I force myself to see the future and to manipulate it into adventure When I whisk away my Capricorn she willingly comes along Only the daylight can turn her wild abandon and free spirit back into the caged bird Still, in the night she is mine And by the shadows flickering across her face from the poorly lit street lamps I see her gypsy eyes begin to glow with life again

The secret lives of Capricorns
They never fail to get the better of me They are trained to put up walls and follow rules Put on rings and keep their vows Too wild for their own understanding I can see what they need and I can see The Fear that keeps them standing still I have The Fear too But I force myself to see the future and to manipulate it into adventure When I whisk away my Capricorn she willingly comes along Only the daylight can turn her wild abandon and free spirit back into the caged bird Still, in the night she is mine And by the shadows flickering across her face from the poorly lit street lamps I see her gypsy eyes begin to glow with life again
