Take my hand as the sun descends.

With love we sleep; with doubt the vicious circle turn and turns.

Without you I cannot live, forgive the yearning, burning
    G        D         G       D
I believe in time, too real to feel,

   Bm            D             G            F#
so touch me now, touch me now, touch me now.

Bm          G       A        Bm
