Oh my what a view of the city tonight,
All along the river-side miles and miles of lights
Love's road I had to climb here to get to see this site
Drained me to my very soul
Left me feeling very old,
Paid the piper; paid the toll.

Oh my what a view, I welcomed love in stride,
Being all too happy to fill up the soul inside;
Love turned off the logic somewhere along the ride,
My flame became perfection's dream,
Perfect no-one was meant to be,
It did not pass reality.

Are we vulnerable? - oh believe it,
Offer us love - we will receive it.
Married at once - can you conceive it?
Have our little children - then we leave them.
Vulnerable, believe it.

Instrumental

Oh my what a view of the city tonight,
All along the river-side miles and miles of lights
Time to do some thinking, and I will mend my life;
A search for love's, a search for gold,
A game of chance where the dealer folds,
The winner gets to have NOT hold.
Vulnerable - believe it.
