I watch you across the crowded bar
Woman of beauty
Tantalising in every mans dream
I seek the words of wisdom
Then pause
Tomorrow I’ll walk away
Waste what should have been
A lifetime of hope and wonderment
To a life of freedom

I watch you across the crowded bar
Woman of beauty
You sense my pain
Like it was your own
In a way it is
Your beauty attracts
But they want to covet your entire being
They don’t see the strength within
They don’t see you

I watch you across the crowded bar
Woman of beauty
Fate sadly throws us together
Magnets for a time
Till that moment
When fear throws us apart
Destined to walk the passage of people
Clinging for only hope
In the abandonment of love.
