I saw her standing by the door
All alone of that I’m sure
I thought I’d risk it take a chance
Walk on over ask her to dance
But she closed her eyes and breathed a heavy sigh
Said man’s heart is made of wood
If I took you by the hand
Would it end up being no good?
I tried to say we’re not all the same
But she dismissed me with a wave
I said I’d like to try and make you laugh
She said you already have don’t you know that I watched you dance?
Then she closed her eyes and breathed a heavy sigh
Said man’s heart is made of wood
If I took a chance on you
Would it end up being no good?
I said I’m not the fortune telling kind
But I know love is hard to find
Sometimes you have to hide your pain away
Pick up the pieces start to love again
But she closed her eyes and breathed a heavy sigh
Said man’s heart is made of wood
If I took you by the hand
Would it end up being no good?
Then she closed her eyes and breathed a heavy sigh
Said man’s heart is made of wood
If I took a chance on you
Would it end up being no good?
Would it end up being no good?
Would it end up being no good?

Halcyon Days

Do you remember the summers, when the sun always shone?
Do you ever wonder, where those days have gone?
We used to sit by the river, in the shade of the trees
Holding hands we’d talk of the future and what we were going to be
In those halcyon days
Do you remember the games that we used to play?
You were a princess and I was your willing slave
We had adventures until the sun fell from the sky
Never had a worry ‘cos we knew who was on our side
In those halcyon days
But the years slipped by
We all grew up – Drifted apart
Knew it could never be the same again
Looking back it’s like a photograph etched on the mind
Oh! And I remember our first fleeting kiss
Was in those halcyon days
Do you remember the summers, when the sun always shone?
Do you sometimes wonder, where those days have gone?
The future seemed distant, so far away
Now the future is right here but I remember
Those halcyon days, oh those halcyon days

I know it doesn’t make it better
But I never meant to cause you pain
And you may believe your justified
When at my feet you neatly place the blame
Won’t you give me half a chance to explain?
Explode the myths and let me start again
The past has flown there’s no excuses
So why can’t you believe the words I say
I can’t change all the things I’ve done
But that’s the price I’m going to have to pay
Won’t you give me half a chance to explain?
Explode the myths and let me start again
Can’t you see through the years
I’m not the same as I was before
I’ve taken all that life has to give and then some more
The way I felt I kept hidden so no-one could tell
I even fooled myself, how well I lied
My love I denied
You never realised how much I love you
I couldn’t say, so who’s the fool?
They say time makes the hurting less
But why’s this knife still twisting in my heart
Won’t you give me half a chance to explain?
Explode the myths and let me start again
I know it doesn’t make it better
I know it doesn’t make it better
