They set me facing north
They set me facing north, always north;
Slip me beneath the black velvet where I can hide
Where I can keep my heart from spilling out
Where I can erase the world from my eyes
I awake from unconsciousness and
You are gone – I don’t want reality
To shine on you like ocean waste
Because I cannot love you, I cannot sing
Because I cannot sing, I cannot be free
They’ve set me facing north, always north
Watching for a sun that will never rise
One day I may wake up to find
One day I may wake up to find
the things I planted growing
One day I may wake up to find
the love I lost crying
One day I may wake up to find
the life denied playing
Wouldn’t that be a fabulous day
just a fabulous day
