'A Love's Desire'
Walking through the silent night
Watching you as my light
Causing a reaction - drawn'd towards you
Trying to make everything the truth
Blood flowing out of my tender heart
Raising out of the dark
Hoping to see once again
Trying to get rid of all the pain
But the pain keeps growing
And my mind isn't thinking
Of what might happen
If they keep on laughen
Trusting that you wouldn't hurt me
I can't tell for my eyes cannot see
Looking through your eyes
Wanting to cover-up all these lies
A love's desire for a heart to reappear
Holding everything so dear
Climbing over my fears
A love's desire for you to be here
