Lyrics
O captivating one You live inside of me
A passing thought inside a friend's mind
I changed my course I changed my way
I burned the path I used to take
A chance encounter in a lover's mind
Who never learned to feel the sting
Come closer now
The veins know nothing but your pulse
The rain knows nothing but the storm
And I know nothing but your eyes
That shelter me and show the way
Your words became my only friend
Your sorrow plays along with mine
Your color matches mine, we bleed the same
We keep each other from the drowning
The words inside me mourn the silence
The lines I write are begging to be heard
O heart of those who stay awake
You lit a candle on the road of fear
And I have watched it burn for you
Long before you ever knew
I know nothing now
But your eyes
That shelter me and show the way
