Album “Tango on a Wild & Rough Terrain”: 6. Defenseless (Lyrics)

Lyrics by Petra Deeter

[Verse]

She forgets that he’s Peter Pan

        Magnificent            

                yet untamable                       

                        from a fantasyland

His heart’s contraband

        Illicit

                Forbidden

There’ll be no amnesty

                      for her awakened passion

It’ll exile in perpetual damnation

[Chorus]

Life moves on

        Traffic

                    Bills to pay

                             Deadlines await

Until one day

     in a song

          she’ll see his face

                feel his breath on her skin

                        his arms around her waist

Aching

    Yearning

          Searching

                   Haunting

                        Opening the floodgates

[Verse 2]

An autumn leaf

                    a promised

                                 salvation

Fools tempt fate

Walk away

        Walk away before it’s too late

Don’t risk it all

              for the illusion

                                of his embrace

Soon

       the decade of longing

                      will be gone

                                       without a trace…

even the taste of his lips,

       the warmth of his hands,

              his child-like mischievous gaze

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

She’s Cinderella

        A glass slipper lost

But that’s in a different storybook

Waiting,

        Hoping,

                In the enchanted night

For fairy dust to guide him right

To fulfill their happily ever after embrace

But reality pulls her back

        From the fairytale’s bright track

[Chorus]
