Honey stay a little while,
Gimme just a little smile to have when the nights draw in,
Because I've felt lost since you've been mine,
Feeling things inside my mind I don't want to feel again.
But still I need your warmth to see me through,
Your loving heart brings mine to you
But oh how that makes us bleed.
You see I want you now
See I want you now
See I want you all whole and to myself.
Be my candle in the dark, the flicker lit from tiny sparks of chance that brought you to me.
And we could fan this flame to light our way and it could burn out hearts away and I'd still give what was left of me.
And I don't want to need
Cos I want you now
See I want you now
You see I want you all whole and to myself.
So tell me where does wisdom lie - in naked air or in the fire?
Oh let me temper these two.
Because we fear to lose what's best
And you, you fear the darkness too,
And I don't want to live this way
You see I want you now
You see I want you now
You see I want you all whole and to myself.
