Iris (Hold Me Close)
The star,that gives us lightHas been gone a whileBut it’s not an illusionThe acheIn my heartIs so much a part of who I amSomething in your eyesTook a thousand years to get hereSomething in your eyesTook a thousand years, a thousand years
Hold me close, hold me close and don’t let me go.Hold me close like I’m someone that you might knowHold me close the darkness just lets us seeWho we areI’ve got your life inside of me
Iris... Iris...
Once we are born, we begin to forgetThe very reason we cameBut youI’m sure I’ve metLong before the night the stars went outWe’re meeting up again
Hold me close, hold me close and don’t let me go.Hold me close like I’m someone that you might knowHold me close, the darkness just lets us seeWho we areI’ve got your life inside of me
Iris... Iris...
The stars are bright but do they knowThe universe is beautiful but cold
You took me by the handI thought that I was leading youBut it was you made me your manMachineI dreamWhere you areIris standing in the hallShe tells me I can do it allIris wakes to my nightmaresDon’t fear the world it isn’t there
Iris playing on the strandShe buries the boy beneath the sand,Iris says that I will be the death of herIt was not me
Iris... Iris...
Free yourself, to be yourself if only you could see yourselfFree yourself, to be yourself if only you could see...
