When the night takes a deep breath

And the daylight has no air
If I crawl, if I come crawling home
Will you be there?
(

Well its been, yeah

Its been a little while

Youmove

My, how youve grown

In a little while
Surely youll be mine
In a little while Ill be there
(

That girl, that girl

Shes mine
And Ive known her since
Since she was
(

In a little while
I wont be blown by every breeze
Friday night running
To Sunday on my knees
(

In a little while
This hurt will hurt no more
Ill be home, love!
(

Slow down my beating heart

Man dreams one day to fly
A man takes a rocket ship into the skies
He lives on a star thats dying in the night
And follows in the trail
The scatter of light
(

Slow down my beating heart

Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
Slowly, slowly love
Slow down my beating heart
(

A little girl
Oh, when I saw her
In a pram they pushed her by

Youmove

With Spanish eyes

Turn it on
Turn it on
You turn me on
