Abandoned Love [#]

I thought that he was righteous but he's vain
But me, I can't cover what I am
And I love to see you dress before the mirror
I asked you please to cross me off a your list
Everybody's wearing a disguise
I come back to the town from the flaming moon
To hide what they've got left behind their eyes
But my heart is a tellin' me I love you still
We sat in an empty theater and we kissed
I've given up the game, I've got to leave
My patron saint is a fighting with a ghost
Wherever the children go I'll follow them
And I see you in the streets, I begin to swoon

How long must I suffer such abuse
Take off your heavy make up and your shawl

Oh, something's a telling me I wear the ball and chain
Won't you let me in your room one time 'fore I finally disappear?
The treasure can't be found by men who search
But my heart is telling me I love you but you're strange

Won't you descend from the throne, from where you sit?

I march in the parade of liberty
Won't you let me see you smile one time before I turn you loose?
Whose Gods are dead and whose queens are in the church
That the Spanish moon is rising on the hill
My head tells me it's time to make a change

Then one more time at midnight, near the wall

He's always off somewhere when I need him most
But as long as I love you I'm not free
The pot of gold is only make believe
