Great Expectations

I never took you down this road

I never promised you my soul

I never offered you a life

Of unbridled love

I always thought you understood

And so, we're you standing

There in the station on the platform

With the wind in your hair

And did you stand ever so still

Hope against will that he'd come

Oh and great expectations

Tomorrow is bright

Not a cloud in the sky

And this is the time

The time of our lives

Yes this is the time

The time of our lives

I/You didn't hear a word I said

You didn't really want to know

You know/feel the truths

Too hard to take

(And I know that you do)

It's really all/been a huge mistake

Ah the fields

In the morning sun sway golden

And signal their passion for life

Their witnessed approval

Removal of all gone before

Ah and great expectations tomorrow

Is bright not a cloud in the sky

And this is the time

The time of our lives

Yes, and this is the time

The time of our lives

I only know how to be myself

I've tried so hard to change but no

I just cannot go on like this

(I thought that I could)

All I say and feel, just gets dismissed!

Oh, the skies spin and spiral now

They sing with the light

Of the after glow

As the cosmic dust reins/rains on us

It seems that our limited times unjust

Ah and great expectations tomorrow

Is bright not a cloud in the sky

And this is the time,

The time of our lives

Yes and this is the time

The time of our lives
