Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Listen as the wind blows from across the great divide

Voices trapped in yearning

Memories trapped in time

The night is my companion, and solitude my guide

Would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?

[Chorus]

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 2]

Through this world I stumble

So many times betrayed

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

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

[Chorus]

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 3]

Into this night I wander

It's morning that I dread

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

Into the sea of waking dreams

I follow without pride

'Cause nothing stands between us here

And I won't be denied

[Chorus]

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

[Outro]

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
