Time As a Lover Lyrics by McCully/Mackay

Garden of the Snake

0

In your time as a lover (picking up the pieces)
Did you ever think twice (doing what she pleases)
Of the lives that were over (all the boys she teases)
And your reach in the night (into your life she eases)
Were you cold to the chill as the frozen wind blew
And the emotions you broke into glass
Did you count on your hands all the pain that you spread
To the lovers you left in your past
In your time as a winner (shе deserves it all)
Did you chеat at the game (come running when she calls)
As the dealer approached you (into her web you'll fall)
Were your cards still the same (always standing tall)
Did you gamble with fate, put their heart on a plate
Or did you pay for every caress
Was emotion your friend or just conquest again
Keeping score for your own sake
Dream on in your golden tower
(in your golden tower)
Head high as you crush all the flowers
(crushing the flowers)
No thought ever taking you backwards
Eyes never seeing what's done
(seeing what’s done)
In your time as a lover (she knows where she's going)
Was it all about you (like a river flowing)
Broken pieces of others (she'll reap what she's sowing)
In the early morning dew (now the pain is showing)
Were they only the means to the end of your game
As you sailed on your uncharted sea
Were your hands reaching out, with no moment of doubt
To the Eden that was your key
Dream on in your golden tower
(in your golden tower)
Head high as you crush all the flowers
(crushing the flowers)
No thought ever taking you backwards
Eyes never seeing what's done
(seeing what’s done)
In your time as a lover (picking up the pieces)
Did you ever think twice (doing what she pleases)
Of the lives that were over (all the boys she teases)
And your reach in the night (into your life she eases)
Were you cold to the chill as the frozen wind blew
In your time as a lover
