Lyrics
Fantasy Man
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
There's diamonds growing in the mountain
Beneath the pressure of all time
They grow in hope and expectation
Waiting for your hands to find
Cause only you could reach inside me
And figure out the worth
Of a life I live providing
What it was you needed most
And if everything is meausured by the hole it leaves behind
Then this mountain has been leveled
And there's no more diamonds in the mine
Go on now just leave it
The timing wasn't right
And the force that swept us both away
Was too strong for us to fight
Fantasy man you are always one step ahead of me
Well I never heard a warning
I haven't got things right
Yet the sun came out this morning
And filled my room with light
So go on now, you are forgiven
Let's put it down to life
The story of two lovers
Who dance both edges of the knife
In the station you were standing
Not knowing what you want
And the secrets we're defending
Have become our only bond
Just be patient while I wait here
Our journey is out of sync
While you're out there running in the chaos
I need some time to think
Fantasy man you are always one step ahead of me
Well I never heard a warnings
I haven't got things right
Yet the sun came out this morning
And filled my room with light
So go on now you are forgiven
Let's put it down to life
The story of two lovers
Who dance both edges of the knife
