Lyrics Sarah Mclachlan

Sarah Mclachlan

Possession

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 rhyme

My body aches to breathe your breath,

you 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,

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
