I could feel the breeze blowing chance Blowing through my doorway Warm and restless just as you walked by Inside of smoky halls a circle drawn And voices call To raise some magic wind in my world Strange coincidence each time you look my way This sinking feeling scares me Know my weakness call it dejavu Never puy my trust in fate suprises do arrive so late Why should I be surprised by you Straight to the heart straight for this precious shining How do you dare step into my flame One from the heart, one for this precious shining How can you steel my flame Sometimes cards are drawn and the tables turn The waiting game is over Take this dealers hand and steal away the dawn Don't give me any chance to wander back from this innocence Don't give me any chances at all
