From the soundtrack of "The Stunt Man"
Out of nowhere into sight
Out of darkness into light
You come running pushing time
Out of reason
Out of rhyme
Bits and pieces of your past
Cling like shadows to your heels
And your heart is learning fast
How it feels
With your secrets in your eyes
And your feelings in disguise
You come running in your fright
Seeking shelter from the night
And you search each passing face
For a sign someone could care
But they rush by in their race
To nowhere
And you watch and wonder where you belong
And the crowd, it moves and takes you along
And the colours splash and repaint your sky
And reality is yours to deny
And you look for someone your arms can hold
Who will let you tell what begs to be told
Then you ask yourself what good are your dreams?
In a world where nothing is what it seems
Bits and pieces of your past
Chill your soul like winter rain
But the time will come at last
When a love will ease your pain
If you let me I will try
If you let me I'll be near
If you let me when you cry
I will hear
Oh, oh and you watch and wonder where you belong
And the crowd, it moves and takes you along
And the colours splash and repaint your sky
And reality is yours to deny
And you look for someone your arms can hold
Who will let you tell what begs to be told
And you ask yourself what good are your dreams?
In a world where nothing is what it seems
And you watch and wonder where you belong
And the crowd, it moves and takes you along
And the colours splash and repaint your sky
And reality is yours to deny
And you look for someone that your arms can hold
Who will let you
