My mind is on fire
and filling with smoke
The world is a haze
with you on the horizon
You nameless and faceless
out of reach
are within my grasp

I can hear your laugh
I can smell your hair
I can taste you on me
but it is fleeting
and leaves me parched
The flame is rising
and will not be quenched
until you are altogether mine

Do not tempt me with showers
Or mock me with streams
I need a river
Save, an ocean
So I can feel you everywhere
So I can swim forever
and never touch the shores of your love
