The candles whisper The shadows outline That you're right on time for the very first time They can't conceal that look The one I couldn't ignore The look this evening is meant to deny The black and whites on the wall Our future there in Doisneau My pockets heavy with diamonds tonight But they won't shine on your hand And what I thought were our plans Flicker out with goodbye Am I the last to know ... Your eyes are cold But my tears are warm Why do people like you hurt people like me? You blind your fear with your pride Protect the woman inside I know you know how true it can be But you're afraid of the need Can't risk the imminent bleed What is love but the greatest danger And now the songs are a lie I never dreamed you would Cry in the bed of a stranger Am I the last to know ... And in the shuddered rush I will fall And in the tumbling I see it all A hushed release of you and I'm free and alive And my heart is the last to know ... Am I the last to know ...
