Barclay James Harvest The Life You Lead Lyrics

The Life You Lead Lyrics

(Les Holroyd)

 there's a light 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 chose
 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<
