Time and time and time again I follow your footsteps so quietly up the back stairs And I hope and I pray you're never gonna find me Smooth, skin and tenderness long ago in a darkness I wish I could see you once again Just to remember that I wanna be still beside you Quiet and still, beside you Listen to your breathing Feeling you warmth again, Oh, baby, this means Oh, baby, I'm scared, so scared, whatever it is you can put it through I don't think I can stand another ten years of this fighting All this stabbing and wounding, only getting my own back I don't want to back
