Am                           G                  D Listen as the wind blows, from across the great divide
        Am                     G            DVoices trapped in yearning, memories trapped in time
Am                    G                     Dthe night is my companion, and solitude my guide
F                       Am            Dwould I spend forever here, and not be satisfied?

  F         Em      AmAnd I would be the one
              Cto hold you down
           Fkiss you so hard
     F          Em      GI'll take your breath away,
          Amand after I'd
      Cwipe away the tears,
 F           G       Amjust close your eyes dear

Am     G    D   

  Am                           G            DThrough this would I've stumbled,  so many times betrayed
            Am                   G                 Dtrying to find an honest word to find the truth enslaved,
    Am                    G                   Dyou speak to me in riddles , you speak to me in rhymes
      F            Am                        Dmy body aches to breathe your breath,  your words keep me alive


F         Em     AmAnd I would be the one
            Cto hold you down
       Fkiss you so hard
  F          Em      GI'll take your breath away,
          Amand after I'd
      Cwipe away the tears
 F           G       Amjust close your eyes dear.

Am                           G          DInto this night I wander,  it's morning that I dread
Am                           G                Danother day of knowing of  the path I fear to tread
     Am                           G                       Dohhh -into the sea of waking dreams,  I follow without pride
 F                       Am                         Dnothing stands between us here and I won't be denied.
