One Flesh - The 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
