lyrics
I'd say I want you to stay but I, I'd say I want you to stay but I wouldnt mean it.
I'd say I wanna escape but I, I'd say I wanna escape but i'm scared of leaving.
Where do you go when the love's all gone, the well of my love is all dried up.
It seems i'm on the road again to Elderado, Ive lost another friend, I've lost another friend.
Don't close your heart, don't close your heart to me,
I would take the blame for all this, I would take the blame though we're both at fault.
I'd stride on a limb for you i'd dive right off the cliff watch me as I fall.
Where do you go when the love's all gone, the well of my love is all dried up.
It seems i'm on the road again to Elderado, Ive lost another friend, i've lost another friend.
Don't close your heart, don't close your heart to me,
Cuz honesty's a policy, that's worth the world and more to me but honestly I can't seem to spit it out.
So while we're lying in the violets, know i'm screaming through the silence cuz the man I am can't stand to let you down, can't let you down.
And I know if I walk away, walk away baby, I'll be running back in my dreams, I wanna know can we talk it out work it out darlin', I just wanna see you smiling.
