I hear your voice Way down inside A whispering sea Of towering trees But no reply A silence so rare And more than I can stand Sweeps like a flood Through life's flesh and blood And steals away with it's heart If I'm losing you Then there's nothing more that I can say The fighting is on And battles are won Or thrown away But if I could live Safe and sound In God given fields Or mountains of steel Then here I'd stay Till you'd gone Guilty of stealing Every thought I own I will take my turn To fight the bullfight Every word's sunk in deep Like the blades of a knife through my heart But my strength will return To fight the bullfight As time's come to show I'm told nothing more than I should know A ship on the sea that threatens to leave But never goes This island of blue Where life clings to your hands Like water and sand Will loose it's way When you're gone When all's forgiven Still every fault's my own I will take my turn To fight the bullfight Say a prayer for my release When every hope in the world is asleep And my strength will return To fight the bullfight
