Alannah Myles - Alibi lyrics

Swallowed by a blackened pearl Waiting for an answer, to unfurl Everything wer'e hiding from We can't deny we are soldiers Out of this world Don't pretend that you don't see the sign And close your heart to love That's only madness Our destiny is to remain You cannot walk away From anything human... Chorus: We are strong when our heroes are one Love that shines like the moon and the sun Helpless in the palm of your hand Like a child in a game Would you break if I held you again Won't you let me try... Would a promise be only a dream Or my alibi... Verse 2: Now the rivers overflow All the gods & goddesses They show no mercy Everything we're running from Is standing right in front of us Desire is searching We can't rely on happenstance Oh we've brought down their anger And now they curse us Cannot deny your right This love you feel is of the light And you're only human Chorus: We are strong when our heroes are one Love that shines like the moon and the sun Helpless in the palm of your hand Like a child in a game Would you break if I held you again Won't you let me try... Would a promise be only a dream Or my alibi... Tag: There was a time when we knew how to fly We could love til it made us both cry Helpless in the palm of your hand Like a child in a game Would you break if I held you again Would a promise be on;y a dream Or my alibi...
