We need a clearing in the forest
A space for loving
A place for you and me
Here come the critics now, the news it won't be good
Come along and hurry now and do the things you should
I can see you dancing by me, held up by secret strings
Pulled by friends and lovers, waiting in the wings
We need a clearing in the forest
A space for loving
A place for you and me
Aboard the titanic now, it all looks black or white
If we don't panic now, it'll be all right
But the wireless is broken, the sea is dark and rough
We only have each other, don't you know that's not enough
We need a clearing in the forest
A space for loving
A place for you and me
Down in the magic city now, the ghost of Mammon sings
You can play for plastic feelings, you can play for plastic things
The only difference is the playing, losing is the same
There's truth in the saying, that the doing is in the game
We need a clearing in the forest
A space for loving
A place for you and me
We need a clearing in the forest
A space for loving
A place for you and me
