lyrics

LET ME LINGER

If we circled a crowd as pure strangers,
Sucked the air from the room with mute desire
Would your eyes cross the floor and call me lover
Would you brush against my side like a feather
But before you let your body answer
Please let me linger,
Let me linger

If our steps climbed as one to my door,
Bold, yet shy like the time before
Would you taunt my solitude even more,
Seal my torture with a playful smile
Then say “not yet” with your finger
And let me linger
Let me linger

So deep you’ve sunk
Your nails inside me,
In that old scent of lust
That you left with me
Let me linger
Until your love and flesh
Cover me
(So hold back, don’t hold back)
(So hold back, don’t you hold back
And let me linger)

Now I sit and wait in sad lonely hunger
Until years and days gone by turn to hours,
For what we can’t hide from the naked eye,
For you to lean against me at sunrise
But please deny me a bit longer
And let me linger
Let me linger

So deep you’ve sunk
Your nails inside me,
In that old scent of lust
That you left with me
Let me linger
Until your love and flesh
They cover me
(So hold back, don’t hold back)
(So hold back, don’t you hold back
And let me linger)
