Don't Answer Me (Live) Lyrics
The Alan Parsons Project
Lyrics
If you believe in
The power of magic
I can change your mind
And if you need to
Believe in someone
Turn and look behind
When we were living
In a dream world
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in
A moment of madness
And threw it all away
Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in
Run away and
Hide from everyone
Can you change the things
We've said and done?
If you believe in
The power of magic
It's all a fantasy
So if you need to
Believe in someone
Just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that
We meet as strangers
I can't set you free
So will you turn your back forever
On what you mean to me?
Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in
Run away and
Hide from everyone
Can you change the things
We've said and done?
Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in
Run away and
Hide from everyone
Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in
Can you change the things
We've said and done?
Don't answer me
Don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me
Stay on your island
Don't let me in
