Testi Soundtracks :: H

FROM THE CRADLE OF ENGLAND

TO A FOREIGN EXCHANGE

THROUGH THE CLAMOUR OF LONG YEARS AWAY

I NEVER LOST SIGHT OF

THE REASON THAT I LEFT YOU:

TO RETURN TO YOU ONE DAY



FROM THE BLEAK AND FAMILIAR

TO THE TROPICAL STRANGE

THROUGH THE GLAMOUR OF EMPIRES ABROAD

I NEVER ABANDONED

THE HOPE OF RECLAIMING

MY LEGITIMATE REWARD



WHEN YOU THOUGHT OF ME

IF YOU HAD THE TIME

YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE KNOWN

THE MOUNTAINS I'D CLIMB

YOU WON'T DRIVE ME OUT AGAIN, WOMAN

AND AS YOU COME TO LEARN

ALL THAT I'VE DONE WAS FOR YOU

YOU'LL SEE WHAT OBSESSION CAN DO, WOMAN



SO THE UNSCHOOLED OUTCAST

THE IRASCABLE YOUTH

HAS BECOME ALL THE THINGS YOU DESIRED

I TOOK ALL THEY OFFERED

AND LEARNED THEIR DECEPTIONS

ALL RELENTLESSLY ACQUIRED



AND THE EYES OF THE TRAVELER

SEE AN OBVIOUS TRUTH

YOU'VE BECOME ALL THE THINGS

YOU'VE DENIED

AND THE LOSS OF AMBITION

HAS COLOURED YOUR REASON

AS THE PLEASURE IN YOU DIED



WHEN YOU THOUGHT OF ME

HAD ME ON YOUR MIND

YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE DREAMED

OF THE RICHES I'D FIND

YOU WON'T DRIVE ME OUT AGAIN, WOMAN

AND AS YOU COME TO LEARN

ALL THAT I'VE DONE WAS FOR YOU

YOU'LL SEE WHAT OBSESSION CAN DO, WOMAN
