Sometimes I See

Sophie B. Hawkins

I cannot claim

Life is more than a game

Sometimes

I

Crave to behave

In the absense of care

I know I'll never keep happiness there

Oh but when he ran his hands through my hair

I stopped believing that winning by cheating's unfair



And I have not seen

Life is more than a dream

Sometimes

I

Seem to be fine

In the absense of time

I know I'll never find reason or rhyme

More exciting than the sound of his sighs

I stopped believing this dream that I'm weaving is mine

Oh



Try with your vicious greed

To cast off your need for me

Try to run free of me

Crawl on your knees for me

Why are you so afraid

To lose what's not yours to save

To savour the sweetest taste for free



I can't pretend

Love goes on without end

Sometimes

I

Need to be free

Of a passion or three

I guess the fruit can't fall far from the tree

Dare I imagine what I might find waiting for me

Trust me I'll only be true to my own destiny

So



Try with your vicious greed

To cast off your need for me

Try to run free of me

Crawl on your knees for me

Why are you so afraid

To lose what's not yours to save

To savour the sweetest taste for free

Sometimes

I see
