Key of Cm.
Like the walking dead I stumbled on,
Caught in the past with my memories,
The endless malaise that consumed my days,
Lay like a blanket upon me,
When you kissed me awake,
I started to shake off,
The many layers of my lethargy,
As I blinked in the dawn of that very first morn,
I saw your sweet face smiling back at me,
So stay for a while,
So that I might see you smile,
So that I might feel you breathe,
We walked there that day where in peace lay they,
Down through the groves 'neath the cannopies,
Without aim I had come and we kissed in the sun,
Your sweet, sweet taste enflaming me,
And after a while of seeing you smile,
I realised that I was falling,
In love with your smile, your sweet laugh, your style,
And I knew it was then and forever,
So stay for a while,
So that I might see you smile,
So that I might watch you dream,
Will the fear that's inside in the dead of the night,
Rise up from the depths to consume me?
And wouldn't it help if I held you tight?
Or is it that I'm scared you'll need me?
But if I took your hand to run over this land,
To a place where we'd roam freely,
Do you think that we'd see that there'd be you and me,
And the moment was now and between us?
So make love to me,
So that I might feel you writhe,
So that I might touch your life,
Stay for a while,
So that I might see you smile,
So that I might hear you breathe.
