AND I SING FOR YOU

Lyrics: Ian McLeish
Music: Ian McLeish & John Millest

1.
And I sing for you...
Standing in the fire's glow - watching as the colours flow 
Hoping to sustain this high - got to try, don't let it fly 
Away, away from sight - try to forget tonight.

2.
Crying as the colours run - knowing that you were the one 
Wondering why it had to end - this well-worn heart will never mend 
My spirit, taking flight - can't forget you tonight

3.
The swell of your breast, the curve of your hip 
The delicate scent of your sweet lower lip
I long to entangle myself in your lair 
And lose my control in the mysteries there

4.
I always knew that such passion existed
And I longed to claim it, to tame it and twist it 
For I am a man who needs fever and flame
To keep love alive and to give it a name...

5.
But you take it further, past all I imagined
No curse from a sorceress worse if she planned it
The sight of you taunts me, your nearness is blinding 
Your touch is enveloping, deadly and binding...

Bridge
I don't want to talk about, I don't want to talk about 
Anybody else touching you
I don't want to know about, something I can do without 
I don't even care if it's true
I was empty and you filled me up, just one drink from your sweet cup 
Thought you were forever, it's true
I don't want to think about, I don't want to think about 
Anybody else fucking you

6
No more swell of your breast, no more curve of your hip -
No more delicate scent of your sweet lower lip;
No entangling myself in your lair -
And lose my control in the mysteries there..

7.
Waiting for the day to come -  praying you'll still be the one 
Knowing what we had was real, my dear - this I feel - we'll outlast tears 
Oh god - can this be right? I'll dream of you tonight
And I sing for you...
