Marc Almond: Your Aura

Sitting alone in the twilight of your room
With your face staring at the wall
Playing with reminders of yesteryear
Persona that hasn't got a place at all
Your were in love with the caress of a camara
And I was in love with you
Now the mirrors' dimmed and cracked
Like your aura and your glammer
Make the legend
Easier to live through

And I once loved a smile
And I once dreamed a look
I collected your memories too
Now the eyes hold the flame
And the face holds the pain
As you try to live your legend through

And I once loved a smile
And I once dreamed a look
I collected your memories too
Now the eyes hold the flame
And the face holds the pain
As you try to live your legend through

It's so sad you never gave in smiling
Aging to an art
Wishing we could grow together
When we only grow apart

It's so sad you never gave in smiling
Aging to an art
Wishing we could grow together
When we only grow apart

Life behind the shades is a life all in the mind
With no place in the living at all
You die with the dreams and so it seems


With imagination's down fall
Keep up the whispers
Incite the adoration
That glows around the image of you
With a kiss to the screen
As you play out the scene
As you try to live your legend through

And I once loved a smile
And I once dreamed a look
I collected your memories too
Now the eyes hold the flame
And the face holds the pain
As you try to live your legend through

And I once loved a smile
And I once dreamed a look
I collected your memories too
Now the eyes hold the flame
And the face holds the pain
As you try to live your legend through

It's so sad you never gave in smiling
Aging to an art
Wishing we could grow together
When we only grow apart

It's so sad you never gave in smiling
Aging to an art
Wishing we could grow together
When we only grow apart

And I once loved a smile
And I once dreamed a look
I collected your memories too
Now the eyes hold the flame
And the face holds the pain
As you try to live your legend through
