Lyrics
I howl to the moon while a lone wolf sights
Only hoping that you'll hear me
And cry through the trees of a faded night
Still dreaming you'll be near me
Ooh, ooh
You said your prayers with an open mind
Holy roller don't you fear me?
Between the light of day and the dark of night
Another chance to see things clearly
Ooh, ooh
To live in a scene where the moon and the breeze
Cite a strange rotation
And some where between your body and me
Lies this expectation
To breath through the storm
To feel safe and warm
To see what you mean to me
Then somewhere between your body and me
I'm set free
A tiny spark in the full moonlight
Sets ablaze this fire within me
I can feel you breathe but hold on tight
This is only the beginning
You said your prayers but then held them inside
Your holy roller bet it clearly
But you kept them layered for the sake of time
Peel them back and watch it steer me
Ooh, ooh
