Lyrics
Spin me a tale for your life
And make me belief again
Take me away from this farce
Of monstrous and kingly vice
How I want you to love me
To love me unbound
How I want you to need me
To need me unfound
Beneath your fabled sun
And your scorpion moon
I need you to want me
Beyond this savage world of sand
I saw through your cunning plan
A rapture of dancing words
Your honey voice, nomad eyes
The dervish wind to my fire
How I want you to love me
To love me unbound
How I want you to need me
To need me unfound
Beneath your fabled sun
And your scorpion moon
I need you to want me
Beyond this savage world of sand
Oh thousand nights
Forgive this murderous pride
That morning betrays
Oh maybe my life will be redeemed
To know
To know
To know that you love me
You love me unbound
To know that you need me
You need me unfound
How I want you to love me
To love me unbound
How I want you to need me
To need me unfound
Beneath your fabled sun
And your scorpion moon
I need you to want me
As much as I want you.
