Gravitate To Me

I've been watching you for ages
You're like a boat without a mast
Struggling with the tide of destiny
Between the future and the past

I am the lighthouse
I am the sea
I am the air that you breathe
Gravitate to me

Through the ether and the mists of the mind
You will come to me to lay by my side
To stroke my hair
To cuddle my flesh
And to quell the torrents in my subterranean depths

This world ain't strong enough to keep us from each other
For we are kindred spirits
Born to become earthly lovers
And while my vanity struggles against my integrity
I find myself thinking
How deep runs my humanity?
When held up against eternity?

I am the lighthouse
I am the sea
I am your destiny
Gravitate to me

There is something within your voice
Something behind your eyes
Something inside your heart
That is beating in time with mine

I know you
From a previous incarnation
I know you
From a previous incarnation
I know you
From a previous incarnation
Incarnation, incarnation

Gravitate to me
Gravitate to me
Gravitate to me
Gravitate to me

Kingdom Of Rain

The The

Tell me what you're thinking baby
Your heart's beating faster than mine
And I know something's going on in your life
In your life
Your life

You were the girl I wanted to cry with
You were the girl I wanted to die with

You were the boy who turned into the man
Broke my heart and let go of my hand

Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we've got to give has all spurted out
There's no more blood and no more pain
In our kingdom of rain

You think you know about life
You think you know about love
But when you put your hands inside me
It doesn't even feel like I'm being touched
You were the boy I wanted to cry with
You were the boy I wanted to die with
You've moved further from my side, year by year
While still making love dutifully sincere

But as silent as the car lights that move across this room
As cold as our bodies silhouetted by the moon
And I would lie awake and wonder
Is it just me or is this the way love is supposed to be?

Tell me what you told him baby
My heart's beating out of time with my mind
And I know something's going wrong in our lives

I just wanted somebody to caress
This damsel in distress
I just wanted somebody to undress
This damsel in distress
I just wanted somebody to bless
This damsel in distress
I just wanted somebody to possess
This young girl

Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we've got to give has all spurted out
Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we've got to give has all spurted out
Our bed is empty
The fire is out
And all the love we've got to give has all spurted out
There's no more blood and no more pain
In our kingdom of rain
