Mr. E Lyrics - Barclay James Harvest

I know that you think I'm the lonely one 

Those black clouds always follow me 

No silver lining there for you to find 

No star-struck prince on bended knee 

Every day you're searching hard 

For something you can't find 

Broken dreams and promises 

The feelings you can't hide 

You fool yourself, there's nothing wrong 

'Cause truth is on your side 

I'll take your truth and give you back a lie 

My secret lives in your deceit 

Innocence crumbles in the face of your greed 

That's why they call me Mr. E 

Every day you're searching hard 

For something you can't find 

A hollow-hearted love that pays 

With pictures for the blind 

My vision is a window to 

The bottom of your soul 

This blindness is the way you feel 

About yourself and no one else 

Let me take you down to the riverside 

Hold your hand and lead you in 

I can take you down to the riverside 

But only you can swim 

I know no magic forest in this part of town 

No mystic rainbow's end, no gold for free 

The colors lift you up, I push you down, down 

That's why they call me Mr. E 

Every day you're searching hard 

For something you can't find 

The promise lies in endless dreams 

A nightmare's what you find 

My promise is a window to 

The bottom of your soul 

This nightmare is the way you feel 

About yourself and no one else 

Let me take you down to the riverside 

Hold your hand and lead you in 

I can take you down to the riverside 

But only you can swim 

Let me take you down to the riverside 

Hold your hand and lead, lead you in 

I can take you down to the riverside 

But only you can swim 

Let me take you down, down to the riverside 

Hold your hand and lead you in 

I can take you down to the riverside 

But only you can swim
