Finally in First Place No. 1 a song you might not know ~ Lovers by Adrian Mannering

Lovers

(Adrian Mannering)

Soldiers in dreams are like lovers who come without warning

And take you by surprise when you think you must make it alone

Sooner or later their presence is only a memory

But you know that without them you'd never have rolled back the stone

And as lovers lie sleeping, I find myself travelling towards you

The morning arises, the wind is as soft as a sigh

And whatever's before me is nothing to what I have come through

The pain and the passion, the tears and the laughs and the lies

My darling once told me that loving was better than living

But I told him, survival for me was the easier game

I couldn't live with him, now it's I can't live without him

I thought I'd feel different, but somehow I still feel the same

Romeo tells me that Juliet can't live without him

And Ophelia's crazy for Hamlet who wants to be a king

And away in the distance, Mark Anthony loves Cleopatra

As Portia sits silent, soliloquising in the wings

So if lovers are losers, what price the game we are playing

And what price the man who has not got the money to pay

And the silence of angels means praying is just an illusion

For the lost and the lonely and those who have nothing to say.

Soldiers in dreams are like lovers who come without warning

And take you by surprise when you think you must make it alone

Sooner or later their presence is only a memory

But you know that without them you'd never have rolled back the stone
