Delusions Songtext
von Arjay Sharp

In a New York state of mind again
But it ain′t no crime
I've been down for an uptown girl
For the longest time
You may be right, but don′t ask me why
There are times I go to extremes
It's my life, and I'm keeping the faith
Everybody has a dream

And so it goes, I keep hoping for her affections
Though we′re rowing the river of dreams in diff′rent directions
She's right on time for making me wait for conclusions
Am I only a man full of fantasies & delusions


My dreams are full of romance scenes
From an Italian restaurant
Yes I try to tell her about it, but hardly with the
Honesty I want
So I′ll say goodbye to Hollywood and try
Warming up to reality
Pressure is on, to write a weekend song
From a soul nobody knows but me

And so it goes, I keep hoping for her affections
Though we're rowing the river of dreams in diff′rent directions
In love from afar, at this piano bar, the entertainer of illusions
I'll take a big shot o′ Captain Jack with these delusions

Sometimes a fantasy, but she's always a woman
She's all about soul, and when I′m feeling low, she says y′ know
You're only human

Running on ice, through the long night
My journey′s end: no man's land
If only the good die young then good thing
I′m not an innocent man
All my life, I've waited for this night
Let me turn around your heart
If it′s a matter of trust, I'm shameless for us
And I love you just the way you are

Getting closer, it's our day
You′re half a mile away but further than heaven


Alright, so we didn′t start the fire tonight
In my heart, you're my home
In a room of our own, there′d be no intrusions
Only love night after day, and no delusions

Wanna be your piano man, be my baby grand
