Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide

Voices trapped in yearning

Memories trapped in time

[Verse 2]

The night is my companion, and solitude my guide

Would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?

[Verse 3]

And I would be the one to hold you down

Kiss you so hard, I'll take your breath away

And after I'd wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes, dear

[Verse 4]

Through this world I stumble

So many times betrayed

Tryin' to find an honest world, to find the truth enslaved

[Verse 5]

Oh, you speak to me in riddles and

You speak to me in rhymes

My body aches to breathe your breath

Your words keep me alive

[Verse 6]

And I would be the one to hold you down

Kiss you so hard, I'll take your breath away

And after I'd wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes, dear

[Verse 7]

Until this night, I wandered

This morning, I had dread

Another day of knowing of the path I fear to tread, oh

[Verse 8]

Into the sea of waking dreams

I follow without pride

'Cause nothing stands between us here

And I won't be denied

[Verse 9]

That I would be the one to hold you down

Kiss you so hard, I'll take your breath away

And after I'd wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes, dear

[Verse 10]

I'll hold you down

Kiss you so hard, I'll take your breath away

And after I'd wipe away the tears

Just close your eyes
