The Long Way Round (I Will Do Anything)

I knew a girl dressed in red when she wanted to dance
Picture her spinning alone in a world with no cares
I knew a girl dressed in blue when she wanted to sing
Still hear her voice soaring high above all her despair
Trapped all alone in a heart made of stone that's still beating
In the ruins of the tower in the snow dome that stands in your room

I would do anything oh that you want me to
I'll take the long way round if that will help you through
I'll suffer silently if that will help you heal
I will do anything oh just to make this real
Haven't I haven't I done all that one man can do?

I knew a boy dressed in black when he wanted to seem
More than the laughable sum of all his shattered dreams
And I knew a boy donned a shirt of impossible blue
As if that ever prevented the devil from getting his due
Add or subtract there's no turning your back on the reasons
As you reap the harvest of karma that sintered your doom
Freeze the confusions of shattered illusions a moment
And never repent when you savour the scent of a fleeting rose
And all I have to say is that

I would do anything that you want me to
I'll take the long way round if that will help you through
I'll suffer silently if that will help you heal
I will do anything oh just to make this real
