The Answer

Are you quite content to live your life
Like some mother battery hen?
You sell your soul for someone else's goal
But don't follow me, the answer lies with you
You cartonly learn what you already know.

Come to me Ailsa, my darlin'
So you can be my guiding light
Don't ever leave me 'cause
You are my heart and my soul.

Pray for me darlin'
My heart was so broken when you went away
The only thing keeping me going
Is that we'll meet again.

You can muse on a love that you'll never have
And you can dance upon the fires of hell
You can speak of the chances you never had
So are you brave enough to tell?

A lager philosophy, a bar room sage
But with unconscious desires to fail
You can say what you like but this is just a dream.

Can you feel a presence touch your heart
Sense a feeling so sublime?
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns
Reached only by the mind.

I live there, I die there, for there I exist
Leaving nine to five behind
For it's this that's real and this is not a dream.

So don't follow me
The Answer lies with you
The Answer lies with you
The Answer lies with you.
