Was alone and lonely
Like a flower on the breeze.
All my friends were strangers.
There was no one there for me.
Then he was there to hold me,
Like the author of my dreams.
Emptiness inside me
Changed to a shining sea.

He said we?re taking it slow
But we were moving much too fast.
He said, I want you to know now babe this is gonna last.
And so he opened his wings
And they were wings of fire.
And yeah we left that night
On the train ?Desire.?

There were petals of red and a river flowed over our love.
It had overflowed.
We had a grip on the past but we soon lost hold.
That?s when I started to pray.
I just wanted to know.

We found a mountain of truth and we tried to ignore it.
Oh yeah, we tried to pass by
We tried to move on.
We found a mountain of truth but we needed a law.
We filled an ocean with love but we all need a law.

I don?t want to be lonely.
I don?t want to be lost.
Babe, I think of you only.
Want your love at any cost.

You?ve got to have hope.
You?ve got to have faith.
You?ve got to have trust
And you?ve got to give me space.

Was alone and lonely
Like a flower on the breeze.
All my friends were strangers.
There was no one there for me.
Then he was there to hold me,
Like the author of my dreams.
Emptiness inside me
Changed to a shining sea.
