Before The Bullfight (Remastered 2003)

I hear your voice

Way down inside

A whispering sea

Of towering trees

But no reply

A silence so rare

And more than i can stand

Sweeps like a flood

Through life's flesh and blood

And steals away

with it's heart

If i'm losing you

Then there's nothing more that i can say

The fighting is on

And battles are won

Or thrown away

But if i could live

Safe and sound

In god given fields

Or mountains of steel

Then here i'd stay

Till you'd gone

Guilty of stealing

Every thought i own

I will take my turn

To fight the bullfight

Every word's sunk in deep

Like the blades of a knife through my heart

But my strength will return

To fight the bullfight

As time's come to show

I'm told nothing more than i should know

A ship on the sea that threatens to leave

But never goes

This island of blue

Where life clings to your hands

Like water and sand

Will loose it's way

When you're gone

When all's forgiven

Still every fault's my own

I will take my turn

To fight the bullfight

Say a prayer for my release

When every hope in the world is asleep

And my strength will return

To fight the bullfight
