Behind The Lines (Live from Nassau Coliseum, Uniondale, NY, 29th November 1981)

[Instrumental Intro 0:00-2:23]

[Verse 1]
I held the book so tightly in my hands
I saw your picture, heard you call my name
There was something strange, I could not look away
Ooh, I wanted to be there, oh, I wanted to go

[Chorus]
Ooh, but you gave me no reason, but you gave no warning
But I was with you right by your side
Just give me the strength, oh, and I can help you
And they can try their hardest, 'cause they don't frighten me
Ah, it is written in the book

[Verse 2]
The sun is hotter now than I've known before
But I feel so cold, and I don't know why
But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm
Then I really believe, ooh, y'gonna could make it right

[Chorus]
The time has come now, we gotta show our feelings
But I'mma looking right through you and your heart is empty
But whatever happened to you, it's too late to change now
'Cause there is nowhere you can run to, no place to hide
Ah, you let me down, oh!

[Bridge]
But wait a minute, I don't understand
It's getting stronger, so grab my hand
Don't wanna leave you, now I don't wanna go
But I'mma losing all control
Can't you see me? I'm slipping away
And I can only stay if you've the will to keep me here, oh Lord
Ah, it's written in the book

[Outro]
Ooh, so many times since then I've read those words
I'm waiting to see you, can you see me?
Now tell me can you see me? Oh!
