Max Webster - Astonish Me

could you explain to a simple man & why you always have to back away
when something in your eyes & is asking me to make you stay

let's say we're lost in a sudden storm & and settle down into the night
we're still a universe away & but it's alright

when we connect with a lightning look & it's frightening strong
i can almost feel us falling

love is awake and it says & we're circling far too long

get off that air of mystery & reach down into your silence
and astonish me & astonish me

get off that forlorn majesty & come down into this current
and astonish me & astonish me
