Something Took You Over

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I saw it coming long ago When you were burning bright But there was just no way To burn that way forever [Verse 2] But day to week, and month to year From gold to black and blue I have been there for you Until I told you "never again" [Pre-Chorus] Secrets and lies Were all you would sing Where did you go You beautiful thing [Chorus] Oh, something took you over and far away Your eyes that held the sun are stormy grey I wish I had the magic to make you stay But something took you over And far away [Verse 3] Flying through the desert night Until the moon would set But when we'd all retire You'd soon conspire and disappear [Verse 4] Oh, Alice in her wonderland Became the queen of hearts And with a cheshire grin You'd sneak back in and reappear again [Pre-Chorus] Secrets and lies Were all you would sing Where did you go You beautiful thing [Chorus] Oh, something took you over and far away Your eyes that held the sun are stormy grey I wish I had the magic to make you stay But something took you over [Post-Chorus] Oh, something took you over gradually You're losing all your friends and family It's killing me to even have to say That something took you over And far away [Verse 5] I pray that someday you'll return With the sun back in your eyes And if that wish comes true I promise you I'll be there again [Chorus] Oh, something took you over and far away Your eyes that held the sun are stormy grey I wish I had the magic to make you stay But something took you over And far away [Outro] Far away Far away Far away Far away Far away Far away Far away Far away Far away Far away Far away Far away Far away Far away Far away
