Burning sands, burning suns. Parched lips grasp to be quenched by love
Ivory tower, ivory steps lead up. Red walls chain me to your masonry of love

Move me now, move me now. On a cross nailed to your heart
Please me now, please me now. On a cross nailed to your heart
Leave me now, leave me now. On a cross nailed to your heart

Tears fall, tears reign. tears of love resist being wiped away
Fool of trust, fool of love. For you, nothing I can't do

And when I think it's over, she laughs and says
It's just beginning to take. So lay back, be
Sober, she says, let us see what we can make
Yes you're in my heart, in my heart
Yes you're in my heart to stay

Nervous talk, nervous touch. So afraid I won't be perfect enough
Walk so far, walk so close. Hope it lasts for tomorrow never knows
