Canciones romanticas

Should have left you standing right where you stood
Should have let you go, should have had the sense to know
Like a train you'd come and I'd lose my place
Now I'm on this trip, I took a fall from grace

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
From the look of love, from the eyes of pride
Nowhere to go, no place to run
From the look of love, now I've come undone

I've had a map laid out from the day I was born
But the roads are blocked and the paper is worn
And all the books I've read and the things I know
Never taught me to laugh, never taught to let go

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
From the look of love, from the eyes of pride
Nowhere to go, no place to run
From the look of love, now I've come undone

My conscience is clear I know right from wrong
That's a lie, I know nothing except that you're gone
But there's more to learn from the look in your eyes
That trip round this world, the stars in the sky

Now all the books I've read, and the things I know
Never taught me to live, never taught me to let go

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
From the look of love, from the eyes of pride
Nowhere to go, no place to run
From the look of love, now I've come undone

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
From the look of love, Lord knows I've tried
Nowhere to go, no place to run
From the look of love, now I've come undone

I'll put my hand into the fire
I will swim the river deep
Take this message down the wire
This world is ours to keep

Piece by piece the plan is rearranged
Day by day it's a temporary gain
So by now we've broken the chain
Who will be here to pick up what remains

She's a bird in hand (you could take her)
Fragile creature (you could break her)
You could bleed her (yet you need her)
She will leave you full of hunger
No tomorrow and no wonder

Progress hides a vengeful lie
The golden glories of modern times
Serve the few and suck the life
The last to gain are the first to pay the price

She's a bird in hand (you could take her)
Fragile creature (you could break her)
You could bleed her (yet you need her)
She will leave you full of hunger
No tomorrow and no wonder

I'll put my hand into the fire
I will swim the river deep
Take this message down the wire
This world is ours to keep
She's a bird in hand
