I love the time and in-between The calm inside me In the space where I can breathe I believe there is A distance I have wandered To touch upon the years Of reaching out and reaching in Holding out, holding in I believe this is heaven to no one else but me And I'll defend it long as I can be Left here to linger in silence if I choose to Would you try to understand? I know this love is passing time Passing through like liquid I am drunk in my desire But I love the way you smile at me I love the way your hands reach out Hold me near I believe, I I believe this is heaven to no one else but me And I'll defend it long as I can be Left here to linger in silence if I choose to Would you try to understand? Oh, the quiet child awaits the day When she can break free The mold that clings like desperation Mother, can't you see I've got to live my life The way I feel is right for me? Might not be right for you But it's right for me, oh I believe this is heaven to no one else but me And I'll defend it long as I can be Left here to linger in silence if I choose to Would you try to understand it? I would like to linger here in silence if I choose to Would you understand it? Would you try?

Listen as the wind blows From across the great divide Voices trapped in yearning Memories trapped in time The night is my companion And solitude my guide Would I spend forever here And not be satisfied And I would be the one To hold you down Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away And after I'd wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear Through this world I've stumbled So many times betrayed Trying to find an honest word To find the truth enslaved Oh you speak to me in riddles and You speak to me in rhymes My body aches to breathe your breath Your words keep me alive And I would be the one To hold you down Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away And after I'd wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear Into this night I wander It's morning that I dread Another day of knowing of The path I fear to tread Oh into the sea of waking dreams I follow without pride 'Cause nothing stands between us here And I won't be denied And I would be the one To hold you down Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away And after I'd wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear I hold you down Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away And after I'd wipe away the tears Just close your eyes

Time here, all but means nothing Just shadows that move 'cross the wall They keep me company, but they don't ask of me They don't say nothing at all And I need just a little more silence And I need just a little more time But you send your thieves to me Silently stalking me Dragging me into your war Would you give me no choice in this? I know you can't resist Trying to re-open a sore Leave me be, I don't want to argue I'd just get confused and I'd come all undone And if I agree, well, it's just to appease you Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for You see love, a tight thorny thread That you spin in a circle of gold You have me to hold me A token for all to see Captured to be yours alone And I need just a little more silence And I just need a little more time The courage to pull away There will be hell to pay Deeper you cut to the bone Leave me be, I don't want to argue I'd just get confused and I'd come all undone And if I agree, well, it's just to appease you 'Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for Time here, all but means nothing Just shadows that move across the wall They keep me company But they don't ask of me They don't say nothing at all So leave me be, I don't want to argue I'd just get confused and I'd come all undone And if I agree, well, it's just to appease you Cause I don't remember what we're fighting for
