I wish I was the fire  behind your words
I wish I was the blood inside your love
I wish I knew the wraith of your anger
I wish I knew the passion of your lust
I wish I knew the pain of your tears
I wish I knew what was hiding in your
  darkness that drove your fears
I wish I could build you a ladder that
  went deep into the night
I wish I could show you the endless
  fountain were only true love swims
I wish I could take you to where dreams
  and magic are part of every breath
I wish I could give you a love to fall
  upon that wouldn't break if it ever
    fell on rocky shores
But I've searched the sky night after night
  and haven't found a star that could
    hear my timid voice
