Don't wanna fight no more
Don't wanna win the war
I cannot make a dead rose golden

A penny for your time
O precious valentine
You hate me for the path I've chosen

Cause in the dark house you aren't dreaming
Sleeping alone
Still counting castles I am weeping
Leaving (home)

Eyes I don't recognize
Careen and criticize
A faith less lost than never known

O does it hurt to smile
I know it's been a while
The birds up here don't sing no more

Up in the dark house there's no morning
It's boring alone
The words of wisdom you're ignoring
Deploring your own

I wanna go where heaven flows like silver liquid in my hands
The magnet touch of purest love can save a man ...
So let's dance
