The Forgotten Man

Could I ever change your mind
Without a heartache
Waiting 'til our star's in line
Is killing me slow
I'm wandering at the great design
The fate undecided
Hoping it would favour mine
a story untold

Lonely temptress and forgotten man
Weight on the world and upon your hand
Simple slaves of the masterplan
For a comfort in what you know

Could I ever change your mind
Without a heartache
Waiting 'til our star's in line
Is killing me slow
I'm wandering at the great design
The fate undecided
Hoping it would favour mine
a story untold

You turn the page
Writing the words as you read
You set it straight
Taking my hand as you leave

No shelter
We make our own
Without you
It's not a home

Could I ever change your mind
Without a heartache
Waiting 'til our star's in line
Is killing me slow
I'm wandering at the great design
The fate undecided
Hoping it would favour mine
a story untold
