"Abandoned Love" lyrics

I can see the turning of the key
I've been deceived by the clown inside of me
I thought that he was righteous but he's vain
Something's telling me I wear the ball and chain

My patron saint is fighting with a ghost
He's always off somewhere when I need him most
The Spanish moon is rising on the hill
But my heart is telling me I love you still

I come back from the town of the flaming moon
I see you in the street, I begin to swoon
I love to see you dress before the mirror
Won't you let me in your room one time before I disappear?

Everybody's wearing a disguise
Just to hide what they've got left behind their eyes
But me, I cannot cover who I am
Wherever children go, I'll follow them

I can't play the game no more, I can't abide
By their stupid rules which kept me sick inside
Treasures made by men who've given up the search
Whose gods are dead and whose queens are in the church

And I march in the parade of liberty
But as long as I love you, I'm not free
How long must I suffer such abuse?
Won't you let me in your room one time before I cut you loose?

So now I go see John the Evangelist
All my friends are drunk, they can be dismissed
My mind says that it's time to make a change
But my heart keeps telling me I love ya but you're strange

So step lightly, darling, near the wall
Go put on your hair and makeup, wear your shawl
Won't you get up off that throne on which you sit?
Won't you let me feel your love one time before I abandon it
