Mine Last Breath Only With You

The world was on fire, no one could save me but you
 - Chris Isaak - Wicked Game


All I ask of you, is to stand firm by me. Please. It's all I desire, while the world's on fire. Remain in my life, feel the fatigue shatter. Dance with me on clouds that began to gather. I want to wake in the dawn full of laughter. I know I love you, no one else could save me. Just don't want our love to slip through another. Away in a storm path in spent in slumber. If These be our last hours, mine last breath only with you. A woman in love with the fire that only you can ignite; never leaving me lonely. You make me happy even when I'm broken, stumble and fall with just your words unspoken. Into a world on fire, no one can save me. No longer will I conceal my heart that swell with pride and love my soul infinitely dwells. If These be our last hours, mine last breath only with you. Forever love, no one can save me, but you. Say you love me again. Don't let it go through, vanish, and gaze off, utter shadow of tears. Don't quietly slip out, to leave me alone shattered. I love you more than you'll ever know. You promised your life on a sea of blue sky. Dance me to your heart of breathless umber sigh. Dance me to end of forever mid the trees. Let's leave this world behind on the scented breeze. If These be our last hours, mine last breath only with you. 2/10/2020

Congratulations on your win. Your line,"Dance with me on clouds that began to gather." It was your pen/ink dancing across to make this one special. Have a good day......

I sense there is just as much feeling that has gone into your work here than went into Chris' original song. Well done on your win.
