Touched By You

Here I am sitting on the edge of insanity
Wavering  until I feel like losing control
Pulsing inside my mind drives me wild
Take me down to a place I know well

Walking along this unknown road alone
Strangers coming and going passing me by
Crazy thoughts play a game of comfort and joy
Searching for the one who will share my dreams

Riding through this world untouched
You came along and were music to my soul
Let me taste every part of you tonight and tomorrow
Hold you till I lose myself without knowing

Reaching out but your not there anymore
A memory inside wants more, so much more
Acutely aware of my loneliness through these years
Empty rooms filled with tears and laughter await me now

Lost, nowhere to go circling around
Fading to understand why not now
Our bodies torn and bruised from the past
Seeing the future so far away from here

Waiting for a time to come around again
Days are passing I’m reaching for you
Lay with me let your heart fall
Let me be the sound to make you smile
