Doves - Prisoners

When the day is done It's just you and I This is our last dance One last fight

When there's blood on the stage Could you face your fears? It all ends here The minutes, the hours Days and years

What do you want? Can you give me a sign? Or give me your current state of mind? Old friend, it's been a while We're just prisoners of this life

Just prisoners We're just prisoners of this life Though it won't be for long We're just prisoners

In dusty halls To the hollow shopping malls To the endless rows of English roses If you've got to believe in someone Don't make that person me If you've got to let go of something Then let go of me

And last night I dreamt I was sent to a place of innocence Hello, old friend We can't pretend We're not prisoners of this life

Just prisoners We're just prisoners of these times Although it won't be for long We're just prisoners

Hello, old friend It's been a while It's me again We're just prisoners of these times But it won't be for long

Won't be long Won't be long
