(1988)

I gave you something for nothing, my love.

This apparition of living your lie.

I had the power but you stole control, my love.

I need you close to me I can't deny.

 

It's your night world.

Places I've never known.

All of the wonders lay before me.

I pray this heaven never stops.

 

It's your night world.

Things are revealed to me.

And all the arms cannot hold you.

 

I will see your face in the morning sunrise.

Hear your crying every lonely winter long.

I need your body and soul to get me through.

Holding me over you.

 

Don't tell me that I came one love too late.

No other woman would I place so high above.

I'll take the little that I get in return for

my eternal love.

 

When you're lonely, do you cry, baby, cry.

What do they give you when the dream is not enough?

This is the hour and the candles are burning,

my eternal love, my eternal love.

 

I get to watch you when the moon is full.

Time to love you when the others are gone.

Though what I follow may be fictional,

I need to be with you or I may die.

 

In your night world,

doors that are open wide.

Then I can make my promise to you.

 

You will hear my voice in the mountain thunder.

Feel me loving you across the universe.

And when the pieces are whole,

there's me and you, you and me eternally.

 

I may be broken but I try, baby, try.

Whatever gets you are the things that I must do.

I'd like to hit you with a little of my

eternal love for you.

 

I will be with you when my sweet baby cries.

You let me give you what the dream is worthy of.

This is the hour and the candles are burning,

my eternal love,

my eternal love,

my eternal love.

 

Don't tell me that I came one love too late.

No other woman would I place so high above.

I'll take the little that I get in return for

my eternal love.

 

I may be lonely but I'll try, baby, try.

You let me give you what the dream is worthy of.

This is the hour and the candles are burning,

my eternal love.

 

I will be with you when you cry, baby, cry.

You let me give you what the dream is worthy of.

I'll take the little that...
