The Life You Lead - Barclay James Harvest

There’s a life that burns

When the night has come

Makes me understand

You’re the one I see

And I can’t say no

Take me by the hand

Can’t believe that you want it to be

Just the game and we’re playing the parts

Such a feeling, it won’t let me be

Like an arrow that’s straight for the heart

'Cause the one you want

Is the one you lose

That’s what people say

And the life you lead

Is the one you choose

Help me on the way

Tell me why you fill up my life this way

Take me high, together we’ll fly away

Can’t believe that you want it to be

Just a game and we’re playing the parts

Such a feeling, it won’t let me be

Like an arrow that’s straight for the heart

'Cause the one you want

We need someone

Is the one you lose

Help us along

That’s what people say

Too many people can’t find a way

And the life you lead

We need someone

Is the one you choose

To carry on

Help me on the way

Helping us on the way
