The Glittering Prize

Lyrics：J.Waite/A.Krizan Music：J.Waite/A.Krizan

There's a silent movie

Running off its reel inside my mind

As I try to fall asleep tonight

On prescription lullabyes

In the darkness there's a doorway

That leads me back to you forever

But these days there's only

You and I in photographs

Ambitions and dreams we've shared

Now I wonder who has got the last laugh

Cause I know you're crying

And you know I'm cold inside

Got no expectations for my pride

And I reach for that glittering prize

I remember on our wedding day

Looking back at you

Our eyes met and we said goodbye

As we both said "I do"

Didn't I make a promise baby

I would stand by you forever

But sometimes the best-laid plans

Flare up and blow away

And fairytale logic comes

Sweeps you heart

Your soul'Your world away

Cause I know you're crying

And you know I'm cold inside

And I'm tired of living with that lie

And now time is flying

And you know I miss that fire

But I feel for you

I've got desire

So I reach for that glittering prize

No doll's house dreams

Or valentines

Just the future at the door

Just leaving trains and empty rooms

A broken band of gold

Cause love don't live here anymore

And some nights I'll come and see you

And I know you'll let me in

Two strangers in silence now

Cause you know in love

We could never win

I know you're crying

And you know I'm cold inside

And I'm tired of living with this lie

These days

Cause now time is flying

And you know I miss that fire

Cause I feel for you

I've got desire

Baby baby

In my world (in your world tonight)

Reach for that glittering prize (in my world)

That's all I ever seemed to do (in your world tonight)

Was reach for the glittering prize (in my world)

I lost myself when I lost you (in your world tonight)

As I reached for that glittering prize (in my world)

And I hope that all your dreams come true (in your world tonight)

When you reach for that glittering prize (in my world)

In your world

In my world tonight
