Barclay James Harvest The Mr E Lyrics

Mr E Lyrics

I know that you think i'm the lonely one

 Those black clouds always follow me

 No silver lining there for you to find

 No star-struck prince on bended knee

 

 And every day you're searching hard

 For something you can't find

 Broken dreams and promises

 The feelings you can't hide

 You fool yourself there's nothing wrong

 'cause truth is on your side

 

 

 I'll take your truth and give you back a lie

 My secret lives in your deceit

 Innocence crumbles in the face of your greed

 That's why they call me mr. e

 

 

 And every day you're searching hard

 For something you can't find

 A hollow-hearted love that pays

 With pictures for the blind

 My vision is a window to the

 Bottom of your soul

 This blindness is the way you feel

 About yourself and no one else

 

 

 Let me take you down to the river side

 Hold your hand and lead you in

 I can take you down to the river side

 But only you can swim

 

 

 I know no magic forest in this part of town

 No mystic rainbow's end, no gold for free

 The colours lift you up i push you down

 That's why they call me mr. e

 

 

 And every day you're searching hard

 For something you can't find

 The pomise lies in endless dreams

 A nightmare's what you find

 My promise is a window to

 The bottom of your soul

 This nightmare is the way you feel

 About yourself and no one else

 

 

 Let me take you down to the river side

 Hold your hand and lead, lead you in.

 I can take you down to the river side

 But only you can swim

 

 

 Let me take you down, down to the river side

 Hold your hand and lead you in

 I can take you down to the river side

 But only you can swim
