The Key Lyrics by Chris De Burgh

The Key

Each time that I hold you, your eyes fill with fear,
You cant lose control now, the price is too dear;
But love, I have heard you crying in the dark,
And the tears on your pillow came bleeding, weeping from your heart;

Oh sinner, youre losing all that you had,
Your day is in pieces, your night has gone mad,
And love cannot touch you, the search has no end,
And the one youve forgotten was really your only friend...

Then your soul flies to heaven
You reach out for me
But the door will not open,
Youve thrown away the key;
No the door will not open,
Youve thrown away the key...

Oh stranger beware the life that you lead,
Is filled with the warnings you can or will not read;
Your castle has fallen, it lies in the sand,
I heard your voice calling, I thought I felt the brush of your hand...


Oh gambler remember the love that you lend,
Will never come back for the game has no ending;
The smiler is calling, your turn for the deal,
And the aces keep falling with every spin of the wheel;

Then you gather your winnings,
Youre ready to leave,
But the door will not open,
Youve thrown away the key
Oh theres no point in staying,
So dont wait to see,
For the door will not open,
Youve thrown away the key.
