lyrics

All I need is you my lover
All I need is you my lover
Make me yours and want no other
All I need is you my lover

You're so ordinary, so very ordinary
So sad and solitary, infatuated and you're
Lamenting fantasies and what is not to be
There is no honesty in what you say you feel for me

Meeting here by chance (Meeting here by chance)
Watching you arrive (Watching you arrive)
You take me by the hand (Take me by the hand)
Say 'Take a walk outside, (Say, 'Take a walk outside)
Inside it's too warm.' (Inside it's too warm.')
But in the cold night air (But in the cold night air)
You tell me not to fear (I tell you not to fear)
I breath the air you breathe (You breath the air I breathe)

All I need is you my lover
All I need is you my lover
Make me yours and want no other
All I need is you my lover

You're so ordinary, so very ordinary
So sad and solitary, infatuated and you're
Lamenting fantasies and what is not to be
There is no honesty in what you say you feel for me

Take our time in turns
There's something in our voices
Midnight walks reveal
We cling to different choices

You say 'It's not to be'
I crack your riddles breaking me
What are you really trying to say?
You are a perfect mystery.
Meet your eyes across the room
The smoke and lights and you're in bloom
No space between us and the sky
You'll see these secrets born to be denied.

You're so ordinary, so very ordinary
So sad and solitary, infatuated and you're
Lamenting fantasies and what is not to be
There is no honesty in what you say you feel for me

All I need is you my lover
All I need is you my lover
Make me yours and want no other
All I need is you my lover
