Lyrics for Possession

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 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 Through this world I've stumbled So many times betrayed Trying to find an honest word 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 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 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 Nothing stands between us here And I won't be denied 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 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
