Just about the time the shadows call
|
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
|
Paint a portrait of my mystery
|
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
|
A nameless face to think I see
|
To sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
|
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is made out of
|
My own devices....
|
Could I be wrong?
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
The time that I've taken
|
I pray is not wasted
|
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
|
|
Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
|
Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
|
You take more than just my sanity
|
You take my reason not to care.
|
No ordinary wings I'll need
|
The sky itself will carry me back to you
|
The things I dream that I can do I'll open up
|
The moon for you
|
Just come down soon
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
The time that I've taken
|
I pray is not wasted
|
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
|
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
|
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
|
One sweet love.
|
|
Savor the sorrow to soften the pain sip on
|
The southern rain
|
As I do, I don't look don't touch don't do anything
|
But hope that there is a you.
|
|
The earth that is the space between,
|
I'd banish it from under me...to get to you.
|
Your unexpected love provides my solitary's
|
Suicide...oh I wish I knew
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
The time that I've taken
|
I pray is not wasted
|
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
|
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
|
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
|
One sweet love.
