Lyrics
The hunger felt too deep to satisfy
A desire that I sometimes wished would die
Sinking into sadness
Too painful to deny
My deepest well of hope had just run dry
She took me in my darkest state of need
She set me still upon her silken sheets
Felt just like a little boy
So unashamed and free
She smiled and she satisfied my greed
CHORUS:
Temple door, Temple door
She opened up to me her temple door
Temple door, temple door
I bless the hand that guided me
Into her temple door
See this cold and concrete place has been my life
Never had the chance to take a girlfrind or a wife
I learned to live without the touch
That helps most men to thrive
So I learned how to die just to survive
BRIDGE:
The curtains gently parted
She guided me inside
Touching, kneeling, breathing, healing
She held me when I cried
She held me when I cried
