When you speak,   I feel the colour of my smile   Shifting like a crystal in an unexpected ray of   sunlight      When you listen,   It’s like trying to hold the ocean   Words gush through my fingers ‘til they’re crashing,   splashing   ‘round your feet      If I could only sing my life with you   A different voice would come shimmering through   This fear would disappear then I could breathe.      Oh…   When I wrap my arms around you   Like a tender fortress you will love me gently   Safe at arms length      No…   It leaves me choking on desire   All this deeper music I must wrangle, strangle   Swallow in defeat      If I could only sing my life with you   A different voice would come shimmering through   This fear would disappear then I could breathe   If only I could breathe
