Take my hand – close my eyes

Paradise in distress
From the albums:
Paradise in distress
Last blast of the century

 
G. Kooymans / B. Hay

Why am I tonight, feelin’ so low
My poor head is spinnin’ round and round and round
Could it be that, by a total lack of love
In fact I’m busy, dyin’
Tell me where or when,
tell me how I’ll go
Am I invited to your dreams,
I’d like to know
why I tremble and talk in my sleep
Maybe only time will take away the pain

Take my hand – close my eyes
Lead me back into your paradise

I ain’t wakin’ up, I’m too tired you know
like a drifter by the side of a dusty road
What if you found me in the middle of the night
would it matter, I’m down and out alright
I am brain-dead, I’m invisible
I am drowning in a river called “Vertigo”
and the moonlight, such a sad night
now that love ain’t coming ‘round no more

Take my hand – close my eyes
Lead me back into your paradise
