Possession

(Sarah McLachlan)

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 the path

I fear to dread,

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…
