Let me call on him, he let me down
I got nothing to say to you now
Loose the feelings that are weighing me down
When I'm sane
It's turning morning, all the birds sing
I'm not complicating anything
I'll have another and then I'll go to bed
And I'll dream of you
'Cause it's almost over
Yeah it's almost gone
But I can feel the sweet illusion coming
Sweet confusion, oh dear
Sweet illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
You and I used to shine like a jewel
But time's been nothing to us but cruel
So play it out and never play the fool
'Cause you'll lose every time
We were nothing, we were only the past
Hard times like that don't last
I've been forgiven, I have been surpassed
By my heart, have you?
'Cause it's almost over
Yeah it's almost gone
And I can feel the sweet illusion coming
Sweet confusion, oh
Sweet illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you
Love for you that I can't use
Lonely nights multiplied by the blues
That I can't resolve
You never knew me but I did my best
I'm just lonely inside I guess
You gave me everything you really tried
Thanks
If we are nothing and we're only the past
Well I'm just living in a dream I guess
A long black dream that takes me down the river to you
Where it's almost over
And it's almost gone
And I can feel the sweet illusion coming
Sweet confusion, oh near
Sweet illusion coming down
Well I can feel the sweet illusion coming
Sweet confusion, oh near
Sweet illusion coming down
And I ain't got nothing but love for you now
