Possession

Music and Lyrics by 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 is 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
Of the path I fear to tread
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...
