Lyrics

Again, I lay awake

And I cried because of waste

I'd love to But only with you Only with you Time is gonna wipe us out

There, I've said it loud and clear So that you will hear There's no one in view - just you, just you And time will never wipe you out

Now I've had enough I've had more than could be my rightful share Of nights I can't bear How can it be fair? Time must wipe them out

So again, I lay awake in a trance Oh, I just want my chance But only with you Only with you

That's all... That's all...
