 I remember  the nights I  watched as you  lay sleeping
Your  body gripped  by some faraway dream
Well  I was scared  and so in love then
And  so lost all  of you that I had  seen
 But no  one ever talked in the darkness
 No voice  ever added fuel to  the fire
 No light  ever shone in the doorway
 Deep  in the hollow of  earthly desires
 But if  in some dream there was brightness
If  in some memory some sort  of sigh
 And flesh  be revived in the shadows
 Blessed  our bodies would lay  so entwined and
I  will oh I  will not forget  you
Nor  will I ever  let you  go
I  will oh I  will not forget  you
 I remember when you left in the morning at daybreak
 So silent you stle from my bed
 To go back to the one who possesses you soul
 And back tot he life that I dread
 So I ran like the wind to the water
 Please don't leave me again I cried
 And I drew bitter tears at the ocean
 But all that came back was the tide
 ... It's really pretty simple.
 I may be off on the Fm, it may just be an F.. So, play with that and see what sounds
 to you. It was hard for me to discern because the vocals were so overwhelming at this point
 the song.
