Lyrics

I've walked in the wrong direction,
I've played with the doubt inside my mind
I've sunk in my own reflection,
I've passed every mountain I could climb
I've dreamt of a calmer ocean,
I've swum so much deeper through the blue
I've toyed with the darkest notion,
But I've never held a woman like you, like you
I wish that I could hold a woman like you

I've sat at a thousand tables,
I've drunk with a score of kings and queens
I've lied and told many fables,
I can hardly recall everywhere I've been
I've danced with the evening spirits,
I've seen every star there is to view
I've read every poet's lyrics,
But I've never held a woman like you, like you
I wish that I could hold a woman like you

I know all the rules to every game,
I know when the skies will start to rain
But how come I'll never know your name
And when every dream that I rely
All turn to sand and when I die
Why won't you be the one to cry

One night by a moonlit river
I would give the world to have you there
One song that my soul delivers
As an answer to my prayer
I'll wait 'til the mountains fall,
I'll stand 'til the skies come tumbling too
I would sacrifice and give it all
If I could only hold a woman like you, like you
I wish that I could hold a woman like you
