I had a dream you died
And I just want to be
With you tonight
Missions bells were ringing
Somewhere higher
I let you get away
I let you get away
I let you get away
What kind of man missundertands
A woman like you?
Sees her in black and white
It's 5AM
The phonebook says
You're not alone
In the cold grey
Morning light
The only one, that's left to trust
My faithless heart wasted us
I had a dream you died
And I just want to be
With you tonight
Missions bells were ringing
Somewhere higher
I let you get away
I let you get away
I let you get away
What kind of fool
Thinnks love's a prison
Or a handicap
Only says goodbye
Sinking fast
In the rocky waters
Off Alcatraz
His friends said
Suicide
The only one, that's left to trust
My faithless heart wasted us
I had a dream you died
And I just want to be
With you tonight
Missions bells were ringing
Somewhere higher
I let you get away
I let you get away
I let you get away
I'm the end of Hitchcock movie
A little dark and a lot confusing
I'm the last of the worst pretenders
So lost, so lost in love
I'm the end of Hitchcock movie
A little dark and a lot confusing
I'm the last of the worst pretenders
So lost, so lost in love
I had a dream you died
And I just want to be
With you tonight
Missions bells were ringing
Somewhere higher
I let you get away
I let you get away
I let you get away
