Artist/Band: John Waite
Lyrics for Song: The Glittering Prize
Lyrics for Album: Temple Bar [1995]



There's a silent movie running off

Its real inside my mind

As I try to fall asleep tonight

On prescription lullabys

In the darkness there's a doorway

That leads me back to you forever



But these days there's only you and I in photographs

Ambitions and dreams we've shared

Now I wonder who has got the last laugh



'Cause I know you're crying

And you know I'm cold inside

Got no expectations for my pride

As I reach for that glittering prize



I remember on our wedding day

Looking back at you

Our eyes met and we said goodbye

As we both said "I do"

Didn't I make a promise, baby

I would stand by you forever



But sometimes the best laid plans

Flare up and blow away

And fairytale logic comes

Sweeps you heart, your soul, your world away



'Cause I know you're crying

And you know I'm cold inside

And I'm tired of living with that lie



And now time is flying

And you know I miss that fire

'Cause I feel for you, I've got desire

So I reach for that glittering prize



No doll's house dreams or valentines

Just the future at the door

Just leaving trains and empty rooms

A broken band of gold

'Cause love don't live here anymore



And some nights I'll come and see you

And I know you'll let me in

Two strangers in silence now

'Cause you know in love

We could never win



'Cause I know you're crying

And you know I'm cold inside

And I'm tired of living with this lie, these days



'Cause now time is flying

And you know I miss that fire

'Cause I feel for you

I've got desire, baby, baby



In my world tonight

(In your world tonight)

Reach for that glittering prize

(In my world)



That's all I ever seemed to do

(In your world tonight)

Was reach for that glittering prize

(In my world)



I lost myself when I lost you

(In your world tonight)

As I reached for that glittering prize

(In my world)



And I hope that all your dreams come true

(In your world tonight)

When you reach for that glittering prize

(In my world)



In your world

In my world tonight
