Don't Answer Me

Written by Eric Woolfson and Alan Parsons

If you believe in the power of magic,

I can change your mind

And if you need to believe in someone,

Turn and look behind

When we were living in a dream world,

Clouds got in the way

We gave it up in a moment of madness

And threw it all away


Don't answer me, don't break the silence

Don't let me win

Don't answer me, stay on your island

Don't let me in


Run away and hide from everyone

Can you change the things we've said and done?


If you believe in the power of magic,

It's all a fantasy

So if you need to believe in someone,

Just pretend it's me

It ain't enough that we meet as strangers

I can't set you free

So will you turn your back forever on what you mean to me?


Don't answer me, don't break the silence

Don't let me win

Don't answer me, stay on your island

Don't let me in


Run away and hide from everyone

Can you change the things we've said and done?
