Like a dream on the ocean
Always drifting away
And I can't catch up
She just skips away - on the tide
Sometimes a great notion
Can lead you astray
So weak to devotion
So strong to desire
Baby, baby, baby won't you let me ride
Take me off on your sail boat ride
Come on now angels, are on your side
But she slips away - oh, and never stays
Like mercury gliding
A silver teardrop that falls
And I will never hold her
Through my fingers she's gone
At the foot of the mountain
Such a long way to climb
How will I ever get up there -
Though I know I must try
Baby, baby, baby won't you let me ride
Take me off on your sail boat ride
Come on now angels, are on your side
But she slips away - oh, and never stays
Like a dream on the ocean
Always drifting away
And I can't catch up
She just skips away - on the tide
She just slips away - on the tide
Skips away - as she glidesPoison in my veins
My mind ain't working right
I know the answer
The way to ease this pain
Only got myself to fight
I can see clearly
But choose to be blind
A slave to desire
Holding me, scolding me
Changing your mind
You¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯re like playing with fire
Chorus
I need you
I want to stay on
This soul motion ride
There is no danger when you¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯re here by my side
Given some distance
Just a little time
Right and wrong seems clear
But my sense of reason is nothing
But unkind
Every time that you¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯re near
Over and over I say to myself
Ooh, she¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯s only playing
Ten thousand reasons to find someone else
Still I hear myself saying
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
I¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯m out here on the edge
And I know what¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯s in store
It should be over and done
Just let go and run
But I¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯ve tasted too much
Nothing¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¯s the same anymore
Repeat Chorus
