I hear voices, people think I'm crazy
They can talk but it doesn't really phase me
Late at night when the lights go down
When I close my eyes I hear the sound
Of people I don't know, I have visions
Forced to watch and not make a decision
I feel something come over me
Then what no one sees is clear to me

TELL HER I'M A FORTUNE TELLER
AND I CAN SEE THE WORLD GO ROUND
OVER, WHEN I'M CROSSING OVER, I WILL SEND A MESSAGE DOWN

I see the future in every hand that I hold
I know you're gonna live to grow so old
You'll be beautiful, strong and kind
And I know in the end that you'll never be mine
Cause every night in my dreams it comes to me
I can see my own death like a movie
I'll be gone but I won't move on
Till I let you know that I still live on
I live on and on, I live on and on

TELL HER I'M A FORTUNE TELLER
AND I CAN SEE THE WORLD GO ROUND
OVER, WHEN I'M CROSSING OVER, I WILL SEND A MESSAGE DOWN

I stand stationary, watch the world pass by
Every relative grieve by a graveside
Every sympathy, words of regret
For a life that hasn't even got started yet
I feel the pain of people as they let go
I have to live knowing what they don't know
The only answer to the question why
Is that no one really dies it's just a long goodbye

TELL HER I'M A FORTUNE TELLER
AND I CAN SEE THE WORLD GO ROUND
OVER, WHEN I'M CROSSING OVER, I WILL SEND A MESSAGE DOWN
