Marc Almond
Torch (Extended Version)
[Marc]
I'm lost again and I'm on the run
Looking for love in a sad song
With your avenger eyes and your catlike ways
I can hold you
You are a fool for me to be cruel
I'm leaning on this bar listening to you sing
And your sad song rings in my ears and I start to cry
[Chorus]
He's searching
She's showing
See him held in a deep, deep spell
He knows she's glowing
I can find within my mind a way to go
I can look deep into your light and shout
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
I hear the saxophone and it tears my soul
And we're feeling old, feeling so cold
She is the torch and she is the theme
She could be a dream but - oh boy - is she real
Try to avoid her eyes, to avoid her words
They will hit you with all that you feel
[Chorus]
He's searching
She's showing
See him held in a deep, deep spell
He knows she's glowing
I can find within my mind a way to go
I can look deep into your light and shout
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
See her eyes they are bright tonight
See the stars coming out tonight
See the moon looking down tonight
See how they light your way tonight
See my eyes they are bright tonight
See my hands reaching out tonight
Hear my words they are dynamite
See how they light your way tonight
[Dialog Between Marc & Cindy]
Marc: When I first met you, you looked a lot like Billie Holiday, that n*** backless dress, the one with the sequins and the single white gardenia
Cindy: I was probably drunk, I had no make up on
Marc: Oh, but you had such style
Cindy: Oh really?
Marc: And those words you sang, and it was my life story
Cindy: It was mine too
Marc: I remember I drank too much and made a fool of myself
Cindy: You looked okay to me but, when you get like me then you know you're in trouble
Marc: I went to grab you and kiss you, but I thought you'd hit me
Cindy: Too bright baby
[Marc]
But those words just kept Calling
Calling, Calling, Calling
[Cindy]
You´re lost again and you´re on the run
Looking for love in a sad song
With my avenger eyes and my catlike ways I can hold you
You are a fool for me to be cruel
[Chorus][Marc]
He's searching
She's showing
See him held in a deep, deep spell
He knows she's glowing
I can find within my mind a way to go
I can look deep into your light and shout
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
Hold me
See her eyes they are bright tonight
See the stars coming out tonight
See the moon looking down tonight
See how they light your way tonight
[Cindy]
See my eyes they are bright tonight
See my hands reaching out tonight
Hear my words they are dynamite
See how they light your way tonight
[Marc & Cindy]
See her eyes they are bright tonight
See the stars coming out tonight
See the moon looking down tonight
See how they light your way tonight
See her eyes they are bright tonight
See the stars coming out tonight
See the moon looking down tonight
See how they light your way tonight
[Marc]
See her eyes they are bright tonight
See the stars coming out tonight
See the moon looking down tonight
See how they light your way tonight
