Intro: verse 1 Come, lock the door up tight, the night's for sleeping Hiding in the dark, no light must show And did you paste up pictures of your heroes? To ask of them the answers they don't know verse 2 Cowboy kings who wore the white of freedom Where were they to save you from the flame? The yellow star would never shine like silver And the Sheriff would soon learn to live with shame Instrumental: verse 3 There was no help for children in the shadows Who never knew the meaning of their pain The reasons give no answers to the questions And now the circle brings them round again verse 4 I pause inside your room and wait for whispers An echo of a voice that calls your name To tell you that the world still welcomes lovers But the headlines for the news are still the same They're still the same, still the same Still the same, still the same_____ Instrumental Verse 5 And hidden in the diary they are selling You offer me a mirror for today In which I see the image of tomorrow And I stare awhile, then turn, and walk away Walk away___, walk away__________
