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
