Pure as the sun that burns my skin
the scent fresh, tangy, sweet
The blood of youth washed away
into yesterday
Yet my heart wispers sweet words
of love to me
You're the one who sent them here
for me to hear
I wander around searching for my soul
tarnished by the hurt I had to hold
Hoping to escape this torment for
eternity
Where can I shed my sainted skin
Just close my eyes
and escape to paradise
Let me touch your face
to make sure you're real
Let me taste your tears
to make sure that you feel
Let me swim in your eyes
to make sure you're true
Let me drown in your kisses
to be sure of your love
Let me hold your hands
to be sure it's me you want
Let me in your world
cause mine has faded away
Let me in, please let me in, please let me in...
Beneath the skin
