Lyrics for Conceived

Want to keep your dream alive? Can I keep it with mine? But I'm no good for you I suppose when you get a cold bath You still hold me close at night Never liked you any less And the world's not such a friendly place, is it? It can grow very cold, very quickly, and for a very long time If the sun, with some twist of fate, stops giving out it's shine Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see Not all is as it could be Like it's there to remind me We've got to wait and see Can I still be conceived In a loveless embrace Still we learn to be a warm sun Around a very cold galaxy It's just like you said it could be Oh, it's like you said it would be Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see That all is as it should be Like it's there to remind me We've got to let it be -yea Some of the time the future comes right 'round to haunt me Some of the time the future comes 'round just to see That all is as it could be And it's there to remind me We've got to wait and see We've got to let it be - yea Wait and see, wait and see
