Lyrics

I've been standing here so long
Wondering if I could be wrong

For leading you on
For leading you on

As if the ocean in your eyes
Pulling me out with the tide

To drown in your eyes
To drown in your eyes

Oh, precious child
Stay with me for a while
As if the sky were on fire
The moon is glistening
Shines on everything
As if the sky were on fire

There is beauty in your tone
I'd like to get you all alone

And treat you in a way
You've never known

Oh, precious child
Stay with me for a while
I'll walk you through my sweet desire
The moon is glistening
Shines on everything
As if the sky were on fire

Oh, precious child
Stay with me for a while
I'll walk you through my sweet desire
Oh,oh,oh,oh
The moon is glistening
Shines on everything
As if the sky were on fire
