I fell in love with a voice in the midnight air
Gliding across the room she was studying me
Such a simple thing to do
The touch of her hand
A question

If I gave you my life would you let it slip
Through your fingers like water in the dessert
If I gave you my heart
In the deep of the night
Would you hold it like a candle giving you light

Days fell away into years
Sunset memories
Standing on the edge of it all oh she was worrying me
Such a typical thing to do
The reach of her hand
Connection

If I gave you my life would you let it slip
Through your fingers like water in the dessert
If I gave you my heart
In the deep of the night
Would you hold it like a candle giving you light

Life fell away from her voice in the midnight air
Hey
Lying on the moonlit ground she was looking up at me
Such a simple thing to do
Just as simple as the way she fades away

If I gave you my life would you let it slip
Through your fingers like water in the dessert
If I gave you my heart
In the deep of the night
Would you hold it like a candle giving you light
