Vanity Lyrics


Every day

I wake up with your face

A restless presence which

Won't let my mind go free and alone

Every night

The bed is pain for me

Your image in my mind

Will hunt all dreams away from me

The hard waves

Of life are faster now

I'm like a small ship

In the whirlwind hidden from the sun

You have gone on

Building a tower fast

So to watch from above

The pain you've cruelly sown on earth

All the time I've been waiting for you...

You shout have kiss me then,

Now I'm not here for you

Keep on rising tower

Then you'll see all your love

Will be spread away

Keep on rising higher

Like the dust in the wind

Nothing will remain but sorrow and pain

How can you live

The kind of life you do?

Watch yourself silently

And tell me what you see in your eyes

You seem an Angel

But you're a vain sad Queen

Who keeps the men in

Chains of beauty under her feet

But all you've done

Will turn against yourself

You know you're burning

All the golden years of your life?

You will be old

You'll find yourself alone

In the dark night you'll hear

The men's cry you’ve thrown away
