Don't Answer Me Lyrics

Artist: The Alan Parson Project
Album: Ammonia Avenue

(Eric Woolfson - Lead Vocal)

If you believe in the power magic,
I can change your mind
And if you need to believe in someone,
Turn and look behind
When we were living in a dream world,
Clouds got in the way
We gave it up in a moment of madness
And threw it all away

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

If you believe in the power of magic,
It's all a fantasy
So if you need to believe in someone,
Just pretend it's me
It ain't enough that we meet as strangers
I can't set you free
So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?

Don't answer me, don't break the silence
Don't let me win
Don't answer me, stay on your island
Don't let me in

Run away and hide from everyone
Can you change the things we've said and done?

For me one of the finest Parson's compositions, with a profound instrumentation that succesfully achieves a touching mood. Mr Woolfson vocals is right in the actitude for the lyrics, and Mr. Alan's production is carefull -as ever.
Other Parsons piece that I can mention now is TIME, this one drives me to tears some times.
He came to colombia not so long ago, but unfortunly not to my city Medell�n, but to Bogot�, so I could not attend the event, for my sorrow.
Thanks for reading. My regards to Mr. Parsons and his band.
