The Key

Written by：Chris De Burgh

Each time that I hold you your eyes fill with fear

You can't lose control now the price is too dear;

But love I have heard you crying in the dark

And the tears on your pillow came bleeding weeping from your heart;

Oh sinner you're losing all that you had

Your day is in pieces your night has gone mad

And love cannot touch you the search has no end

And the one you've forgotten was really your only friend

Then your soul flies to heaven

You reach out for me

But the door will not open

You've thrown away the key;

No the door will not open

You've thrown away the key

Oh stranger beware the life that you lead

Is filled with the warnings you can or will not read;

Your castle has fallen it lies in the sand

I heard your voice calling I thought I felt the brush of your hand

Oh gambler remember the love that you lend

Will never come back for the game has no ending;

The smiler is calling your turn for the deal

And the aces keep falling with every spin of the wheel;

Then you gather your winnings

You're ready to leave

But the door will not open

You've thrown away the key

Oh there's no point in staying

So don't wait to see

For the door will not open

You've thrown away the key
