Can I face tomorrow with the, with the news you bring me?
My soul feels cold like ice, a pinprick makes no pain, whoa-oh-oh
Hear me, listen, help me

I felt our thing change from love to something else
Well, how can it plague my mind, a pinprick makes no pain, whoa-oh-oh
Hear me, listen, help me

Oh , help me, yeah, yeah, oh

I shall find myself but I must have the time, go sow the seeds of something new
Farmer, farmer plow the field, harvest, harvest all you can
A cornfield smells so sweet, a pinprick makes no pain
Hear me, listen, help me

But to follow the weaver of dreams behind the sun that knows, it seems that
I am foresworn, a naked troubadour
I sit at court and I sing to the Princess of Beauty and Light
She favours me though I'm merely a minstrel of the night
There on my right sits the King with his clowns
He pays to laugh while his Queen lives on downs
And the smile on his brow is the crown

Morning bird sing, fill my ears with the joy of our sorrow unmasked
Lend me your wings for the sunrays of dawn are here to last
I take my leave as I leave, I must take
All I have seen in my dreams, then I wake
And it is as safe as yesterday is
