I was in the shadow Using up my time Tangled up in thought Of what to do with mine Until the midnight hour When a lowly demoiselle Came into my tower Upon the bed she fell As a flower in the cold A marigold as lovely as could be Long it has been now But I won't soon forget The vow she made to me When she said "I don't know anything of where you've been, But I'll give you all to help me feel again" Feel again Everything I own to make me feel again Even then I would get you more to make me feel (Uhh) Like a bird unfettered of her cage When the siren came She called my name Into the silent summer's eve And in the moment's end I caught her when She gave a broken smile to me And she said "I pray to find you every now and then, When the numb takes hold and I can't feel again" Feel again Everything I own to make me feel again Even then I would get you more to make me feel Real again Every drop inside to make it real again Even then I would drain the world to make it real Feel again Everything I own to make me feel again Even then I would get you more to make me feel
