One Flesh Lyrics - Singles - Chameleons

With the sun in your eyes 

Always mistaking 

The truth from the lies 

In the love that you're making 

Don't pretend it isn't so 

With the sun in your eyes 

It always reveals 

A voluntary bondage 

That always appeals 

It's how you make the garden grow 

But why this weakness 

No-one knows 

Our conscience cries his sorrow 

While we sleep 

But once the morning's dawned 

Out the back-door 

Silently he creeps 

With the sun in your eyes 

Always reminding 

A sense of excitement 

You've no hope of finding 

With the chains that bind your feet 

Belonging or longing 

For a few empty hours 

In a strangers bed 

To chase away 

A fear that's in your head 

And why this weakness 

No-one knows 

The vacant faceless voices 

On the phone 

Bring words that offer no 

Consolation when you're all alone 

With the sun in your eyes 

Beaten on the brow of history 

A union forged in slavery 

In all that's hope and decency 

A hope for you and a hope for me 

For every woman child and man 

To those who'll chain you if they can 

The babe you're bouncing on your knee 

Needs your help now can't you see
