Lonely Desire

(Music & Lyrics by Robyn McCorquodale and Michael Creber ©2001)
You're lost in sleep
What do you see?
You live in the past
Your own reality
The girl in your dreams
The image you hold
You still won't let it go
It makes your spirit bleed

You once loved years ago
You shared a flame you thought would grow
Her smile warmed your heart
The mirror of your soul
Then her good-bye
Bitter surprise
Now you bear a torch
That holds the raging fire

Lonely desire fire that grows
A blazing torch that burns your soul

Truth you deny
Twisted memories in your mind
Passion consumes you
In lonely solitude
Love passes you by
Why can't you see?
Your heart holds the key
To free you from the fire

Lonely desire fire that grows
A blazing torch that burns your soul

Dreaming heart rapt in gold
Leap through the burning flames
Salvage your soul

Lonely desire fire that grows
A blazing torch that burns your soul
