"Invitation" lyrics

"Invitation"

You and your smile hold a strange invitation
Somehow it seems we've shed our dream but we're
Time after time in a room full of strangers
Out of the blue, suddenly you were there

Wherever I go you're the glow of temptation
Glancing my way in the grey of the dawn
And always your eyes smile that strange invitation
Then you are gone where oh, where have you gone

How long must I live in a world of illusion
Be where you are so near yet so far, apart
Hoping you'll say with a warm invitation
Where have you been, darling, come in
Come into my heart
