To live with him 8 years or so
Said it was the longest time he could imagine
And he wanted me for an eternity
And I wanted to say yes
As he pressed me with his body
But the memory of someone else
Held me back
So we made love in the meantime
Breathing the mystery
And I lived on his patience
And he held on
Then my poor heart betrayed us
And I broke him with my pain
He had to stop, stop coming around
Talked about new girlfriends
But none of them seemed to keep him
From coming back to me
He said something happened when he held me
He wanted to feel it
So we made love in the meantime
Breathing the mystery
And I lived on his patience
And he held on
Well I was half myself back then
It took me years to know my heart
And when I realized what a fool I'd been
I tried so hard to find him
But I never saw him again
But I still see his searching eyes
And I think I know now
What he knew then
And I miss him
Yeah we made love in the meantime
Breathing the mystery
And I lived on his patience
And he held on
Yeah we made love in the meantime
Breathing the mystery
And I lived on his patience
Holding on, I'm holding on
He asked me if I wanted To live with him 8 years or so Said it was the longest time he could imagine And he wanted me for an eternity And I wanted to say yes As he pressed me with his body But the memory of someone else Held me back So we made love in the meantime Breathing the mystery And I lived on his patience And he held on Then my poor heart betrayed us And I broke him with my pain He had to stop, stop coming around Talked about new girlfriends But none of them seemed to keep him From coming back to me He said something happened when he held me He wanted to feel it So we made love in the meantime Breathing the mystery And I lived on his patience And he held on Well I was half myself back then It took me years to know my heart And when I realized what a fool I'd been I tried so hard to find him But I never saw him again But I still see his searching eyes And I think I know now What he knew then And I miss him Yeah we made love in the meantime Breathing the mystery And I lived on his patience And he held on Yeah we made love in the meantime Breathing the mystery And I lived on his patience Holding on, I'm holding on Explain Request ×
