Darling are your feeling
The same thing that I'm seeing?
The troubles of the day
Took my breath away
Took my breath away

Now you're no longer talking
And I'm no longing hearing
There's nothing left to say
Said it anyway
Said it anyway

And I want you not
I need you not
I'm dying 'cause this is the saddest song I've got
The saddest song I've got

Darling are you healing
From all those scars appearing?
And don't it hurt a lot?
Don't know how to stop
Don't know how it stops

Now there's no sense in seeing
The colors of the morning
Can't hold the clouds at bay
Chase them all away
Chase them all away

And I'm frozen still
Unspoken still
Hearts broken
Remembering something I forgot
Something I forgot

Annie Lennox is an award-winning singer, songwriter and activist who has sold over 80 million records worldwide between her solo work and the duo Eurythmics. At seventeen, Lennox won a scholarship to London’s Royal Academy of Music to become a flutist, but dropped out after feeling that classical music was “far too competitive” and “didn’t fit my kind of personality”.

While working as a waitress at a health food restaurant in London, Lennox met Dave Stewart, with whom she formed the band Catch with singer-songwriter Peet Coombes. Catch released one single before adding two more members and changing their name to The Tourists. Under that name, the band scored five UK hits before Coombes' substance abuse broke the band apart.

Lennox and Stewart continued writing together – with Stewart moving from guitar to synthesizer and Lennox adopting an androgynous look – and formed Eurythmics. Within a few years, the duo was propelled into international stardom when “Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)”, a single from their second album, became a top ten hit in nine countries.
