Lyrics
Your touch is deep
I cannot keep from loving you
The feeling steeps
Til I’m undone
Awakes my heart
From its somnambulated state
And coax its start
Away from numb
I falter, I fall
Stumbling, I stall
I falter, I fall
Stumbling, I stall
Don’t want a balm
A numbing salve applied in haste,
To soothe loves sting
When left to waste
Don’t want mirages
These things are keeping me from sight
A blinding view
That blacks the light
I falter, I fall...
Can I let go
Of these aversions
That are cruel
That harm my soul
And yet I fuel
If I embrace
What’s a most inconvenient love,
And feel its pull
As not a shove
Then ache and longing
Will crystalize into a gem
That holds my sway
As staff to stem
I falter, I fall...
