DUCE - The Songwriter

Lyrics

Verse1
Have you ever been lost?
(Have you ever been lost?)
In a sea of smiling faces.
In the strangest empty places –
All by yourself?
Have you ever been found?
(Have you ever been found?)
With your head ten feet above the ground.
Surrounded by a magic sound –
And you think that you’re in love?

Verse2
It’s all a plan.
A dream at your command.
Like a bird in the hand …
It’s planned you know –
It’s all a show!

Instrumental Bridge1

Vocal Bridge1
I want to know you,
I want you here by my side.
Yes I must have you
The ocean needs the tide.
C’mon! Oh! C’mon!
Come here! What’s wrong?

Instrumental Bridge2
OR
(Alternate) Vocal Bridge2
You know you have to cry before you weep.
You know you have to tire before you can sleep.
Walk before you run.
The trigger then the gun.
The white rose and then the black lace
It’s written all over your face.

Verse3
Have you ever been lost?
(Have you ever been lost?)
In a sea of smiling faces.
In the strangest empty places –
All by yourself?
Have you ever been found?
(Have you ever been found?)
With your head ten feet above the ground.
Surrounded by a magic sound –
And you think that you’re in love?

Verse4
It’s all a plan.
A dream at your command.
Like a bird in the hand …

Ending
And you think that you’re …
Yes, you think that you’re …
In love.
