Here's a secret that they never tell
The old illusion I bet you know it well
And those sympathetic eyes don't even cast a spell anymore on me
They say the good times might run their course
So hail the future and bury the remorse
'Cause time rolls by with legendary force but it won't take me
I'm gonna give everything just one last goodbye
I'm gonna begin myself under northern skies
I'm gonna believe my heart and sanctify my soul
I'm gonna tell everyone, I'm gonna be on my own again
You think it's in you but it never shows
Is that the real thing or just another pose?
And the wine goes down like water to a rose for me tonight
I'm gonna give everything just one last goodbye
I'm gonna begin myself under northern skies
I'm gonna believe my heart and sanctify my soul
I'm gonna tell everyone, I'm gonna be on my own again
And the blood that's racing in my heart
Burns your hands, it burns your hands
And the one that's tearing it apart never cared, she never cared
And the wine goes down like brandy to a fire
And a last request was never my desire but it might be time
I'm gonna give everything just one last goodbye
I'm gonna begin myself under northern skies
I'm gonna believe my heart and sanctify my soul
I'm gonna tell everyone, I'm gonna be on my own again
I'm gonna tell everyone, I'm gonna be on my own again
