Lyrics

Possession
By Sarah McLachlan

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 pain I fear to tread,
On 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...
