Back in 1985 when cupid saw me take a dive   I didn't think that I'd still be   Thinking of you now so wistfully   You never took me through your hallway   Never led me up the stairs   Past the years of useless longing   And where you used to say your prayers      And, yes, it's hard for me to stay   Harder still for me to stay away      CHORUS:   The whisper of your mind   Ties the flowers to the rain   The window of your dream   Voices the sun on your lips      You know what stopped you liking music   Well, that's what always held you back   What puts emotion at an arm's length   And takes the very thing you lack   For you're not shallow, you're not godless   We all need something to believe   And you believe you've lost that something   Just lost the will to be deceived      And, yes, it's hard for me to stay   Harder still for me to stay away
