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
