The Everly Brothers - Abandoned Love lyrics

I can see the turning of the key I've been deceived by the clown inside of me I thought that he was right but he's afraid But something's telling me, I wear the ball and chain My patron saint is a-fighting with a ghost He's always off somewhere when I need him most The Spanish moon is rising on the hill But my heart is telling me I love you still Everybody's wearing a disguise To hide what they've got left behind their eyes But me, I can't cover what I am Wherever the children go I'll follow them I march in the parade of liberty But as long as I love you I'm not free How long must I suffer such abuse Won't you let me see your smile before I turn you loose I've given up the game, I've got to leave, The pot of gold is only make-believe. The treasure can't be found by men who search Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church We sat in an empty theatre and we kissed, I asked you please to cross me off your list My head tells me it's time to make a change But my heart is telling me I love you but you're strange So one more time at midnight, near the wall Take off your heavy make-up and your shawl Won't you come down from the throne of where you sit Let me feel your love one more time before I abandon it I come back to the town from the flaming moon I see you in the streets I begin to swoon I love to see you dress before the mirror Won't you let me in your room one time, before I finally disappear
