When
the sun goes down
I open up
my window for hours and I watch
Every
passing stranger
Every early
shadow, I wonder if it’s you
Always I’m dreaming, and recklessly
scheming
How to get you back in my life
I want you now
And I’m prepared to take chances
I’ve told you how
I won’t take no for an answer
Every empty
evening
The sailors
sit downstairs, drinking ‘til they fight
Shout and
raucous laughter
Sounds of
breaking glass shatter through the night
The men from the circus are juggling with
knives
The acrobats fall just like you
I want you now
And I’m prepared to take chances
I’ve told you how
I won’t take no for an answer
I won’t take no for an answer
Now you’re
miles away
‘Cross the
sea, out of reach, unheard
I’ve cried
to you for help
But the
wind blows away all my words
You sat
there once beside me
Where the
actors play, you kissed me every night
When you
left you promised
You’d soon
be back to stay, and it would be alright
Now I’m abandoned, my letters unanswered
Got to get you back in my life
I want you now (I want you now)
And I’m prepared to take chances
I’ve told you how (I’ve told you
how)
I won’t take no for an answer
I want you now (I want you now)
And I’m prepared to take chances
I’ve told you how (I’ve told you
how)
I won’t take no for an answer
