Lyrics
?Keep Me In Love?
Music & Lyrics by Chuck Larkin
Keep me in love...
Keep me high above the realness of the rest of my life,
My love...
Keep me feeling just the best of my life,
My love...
Keep me in chains...
Keep injecting my veins with a trace of the chemistry of you,
My love...
You replace the very memory of everything I knew before...
Here, in the falling of the feel of our love, we?ll stay for life
Here, beneath the crushing of the wheel of our love, we?ll lay our life
Here, in the choking of the flood of our love, we?ll give our life
Here, beneath the rushing of the blood, we live...
And while we sleep, my love...
Keep me circled and safe, embraced in a breath,
Deeper, my love...
Severed only in the face of death,
My love...
But even when my touch has died, my love...
Keep me in love,
Keep me in love,
Keep me in love, my love...
Inside.
