A song by Karl, with a bit of a jazz feel..lyrics self explanatory
lyrics
Those words you know
I don’t think I’ll sleep tonight, Can’t get you out of my mind
I don’t want to close my eyes on this crazy loving time
Street lights flicker and the rain outside,
Comes down my windowpane
Soft music in the cool of the air keeps you in the frame
I want to hold on, hold on tight
And never let you go
I want feel you close to me
And whisper sweet and low… those words you know
I don’t think I’ll sleep tonight, Can’t get you out of my mind
I don’t want to dream tonight I’m scared of what I’ll find
Voices talking in the distance
Comes floating to my brain
Dark shadows take the long way round then back to earth again
I want to hold on, hold on tight
And never let you go
I want feel you close to me
And whisper sweet and low… those words you know
I don’t think I’ll sleep tonight, Can’t get you out of my mind
Strange I never saw it coming this time, Its pain but a different kind
It hangs in clouds like a lightning strike
Looking for a place to belong
Armour cracked and sword in pieces all my defences gone
I want to hold on, hold on tight
And never let you go
I want feel you close to me
And whisper sweet and low… those words you know
