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...
