Lyrics
Wanted Man
I'm a wanted man; I've held the weight of life in these hands
I've lived a thousand lives, I'll live a thousand more 'fore I die
I held you, you're the breath against my neck (Come to me and rest your head)
Just the thought of you brings an aching in my chest (Aching in my chest)
That won't relent, that won't relent
I'm a wanted man, I've held the weight of life in the hands
I've told a thousand lies, I'll tell a thousand more 'fore I die
Oh to hold you, you're a lover's sweet caress (Come to me and lay your head)
I long for you but I will never be (I need you, oh I need you)
The man you need, the man you need
Come to me, won't you come to me
Come to me, won't you come to me
I'll never stop running, I won't stop running to you
I'm a wanted man; I've held the weight of life in these hands
I've lived a thousand lives, I'll live a thousand more 'fore I die
