I was on fire last night
I had a dream I couldn't find
My lover anymore and I woke up alone
She was lyin' there with the man that I'd become
Where's the boy that loves to sing
Where's my home
Oh why does it wane
The mirror o' time
Like my memory down the drain
The circle of life
The centre of the stage
Keep holdin' it back
Why am I always so afraid
Built by design last night
I had a dream I was to fight
A war between the love lost and gained
She was lyin' there with a dead rose in her hand
And a thorn just for my back
Oh the refrain
Oh why does it wane
The mirror o' time
Like my memory down the drain
The circle of life
The centre of the stage
Keep holdin' it back
Why am I always so afraid
Well I'm just folding through the ripple of time
My eyes shade
The only pieces left of young, dumb and wild
My heart strays
Between the revelry of drinkin' for days
Oh why does it wane
The mirror o' time
Like my memory down the drain
The circle of life
The centre of the stage
Keep holdin' it back
Why am I always so afraid
