LYRICS:
Stay with me, I'll set you free
Cause I could tell you once we're free
???? said you lost your pillows
lost the luster of your tatle tails
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strength that I can not betray
I need a word to say what I can't say
I need a lover, lover
I need a lover, lover
What are we waiting for?
What are we waiting for?
Time has lost it's hold on me
Hatred sleeps inside my bones
In the stillness of cool weather
All the boys have left for dead
'cause we know where they vere to tread
The beautiful ones; not ones we'll remember
the precious ones are greatest pretenders
I need a love to help me find my way
I need a strength that I can not betray
I need a word to say what I can't say
I need a lover, lover
I need a lover, lover
And if you lose yourself
Could you take me too
Could you rest inside the sle____(?)
Stay with me I'll set you free from you.
