Song lyrics
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 path I fear to tread
oh into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride
Cos 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...

"...I'll take your breath away..."
How strange -- she's singing, but a man's obsessive bent informs the song. I always envision it from the stalker's perspective, not Sarah's. I suppose it's the tone. Hauntingly enthralling.

"Horses trapped in yearning, memorys trapped in time...the night is my companion, solitude my guide...."

well, he was a stalker but he had a good imagination...lol, i'll give him that for free....

I love this song, I think it's one of my faves out of all songs and all genres.

Makes you cry though if you are going through a roungh time....like me, lolz!

This song isn't just about a stalker, but it's about the fantasys we all have or have had of another person who we think will make us happy and fullfill the secret desires within us. Iris

AMAZING song!

Personally, reminds me of Buffy....
"the night is my companion, and solitude my guide would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?
Through this world I've stumbled so many times betrayed...."
