Gray clouds with a cold wind
Your eyes are dark
but your skin is soft and warm
and I could lose myself in you
with a smile and a song
in my once broken heart
but now on the mend

Your taste
Your touch
Your smell
You're like a drug to me
and I'll be left here to chase you
like an old man with a fading memory

You're the one that got a way once
and I hate myself a little
for not getting away with you
There's electricity in lightning
and it shocks me every time
eye see you or hear you talk or laugh

I'm a sucker with a sob story
and you've got the best
ears on the planet
I've known your heart
and I've seen your soul
and it shakes me to my core

I want to capture your tears
I want to quell your fears
and hold you
like a comfy bed in winter's cold
I want to make you smile away
all the bad times and fill you with
the love I kept close to my heart
all these years

I've seen your soul, old friend
It's a little tattered and bruised
around the edges but I don't care
I love you just the same
no matter what...
no matter where
