Nazareth - Rubik's Romance

More complicated than a Rubik's More sides and colours, it's always changing We walk and talk around in circles Wasting time and find the truth is undiscovered The time we felt it like a spotlight I played, you sang in harmony Then the whispers after midnight Making promises and breaking others We hide behind our shields We're hiding what we feel How long can we go on pretending Afraid we don't belong And scared we might be wrong 'Cause love's for giving not for lending We're sharing with the understanding I pay the piper then... you call the tune Take our places with the dancers Moving round the tables one after the other The moves we made while shadow boxing I blocked the punches and... you did the same Maybe better if we had a rumble Then crawl into our corners as we recover We hide behind our shields We're hiding what we feel How long can we go on pretending Afraid we don't belong And scared we might be wrong 'Cause love's for giving not for lending Let's take our guard down Let's start taking chances We're wasting time to come around There'll be no guarantee for happy ever after Stepping out and feeling free We'll write another chapter Go out and paint the town red And live in that casino of the heart Living for the moment Never mind the ending Playing safe but knowing that It's hard to lose a race we didn't start
