Looking Over My Shoulder - Mary Hopkin

Looking over my shoulder

What’s going on behind me

I can see the past and it’s fading at last

And I’m feeling like I’ve never felt before

Looking out my window

What’s going on outside me

I can see the future, with a promise of peace

And a freedom like I’ve never known before

So, I can’t understand it, why can’t I stop crying

These waves of emotion should carry me clear

But I’ve come face to face with my fears

And I can’t stop my tears

Look into my eyes now

What’s going on inside me

I can feel this passion become an obsession

And I need love like I’ve never done before

So I’ve found myself a lover

He loves me like no other

He satisfies, and his taste is much sweeter

Than I’ve tasted, tasted ever before

So I can’t understand it, why can’t I stop crying

These waves of emotion should carry me clear

But I’ve come face to face with my fears

And I can’t stop my tears, no, I can’t stop my tears

I can’t stop my tears
