Venice - Something Took You Over

I saw it coming long ago
When you were burning bright
Thought there was just no way
To burn that way forever

But day to week & month to year
From gold to black & blue
I have been there for you
Until I told you never again

Secrets & lies
Were all you would sing
Where did you go
You beautiful thing?

Something Took You Over
And far away
Your eyes that held the sun
Are stormy gray
I wish I had the magic
To make you stay
But Something Took You Over… and far away

Flying through the desert night
Until the moon would set
But when we’d all retire

You’d soon conspire
And disappear Alice in her Wonderland
Became the Queen of Heart

And with a Cheshire grin
You’d sneak back in
And reappear again

Secrets & lies
Were all you would sing
Where did you go
You beautiful thing?

CHORUS

Something Took You Over, gradually
Losing all your friends and family
It’s killing me to even have to say
That Something Took You Over...
And far away

I pray that someday you’ll return
With the sun back in your eyes
And if that wish comes true
I promise you
I’ll be there again

CHORUS
