Is it tenderness or torture,
Joy that only ends in pain
As the cold blue light of morning
Steals you from my side again.
You set my senses burning
And the embers linger on,
A wildfire of yearning
In the ashes of the dawn.
Your restless soul keeps running free,
It's like asking the wind to belong to me.
You won't let me go, but you'd better know
We're a long way from love,
A long way from forever.
Tomorrow waits for us.
Baby, it's now or never.
Half a heart's not good enough.
We're long way from love.
"I'll come back soon," you whisper,
With the fading of the stars.
When these arms ache to hold you,
Time's a prison without bars.
I collect my stolen moments,
All the bitter with the sweet,
How you let your touch torment me,
Walk away and watch me bleed.
I'm living on a desperate prayer
Someday you'll turn, around and learn to care
We can make it through, but it's up to you.
We're a long way from love,
A long way from forever.
Tomorrow waits for us.
Baby, it's now or never.
Half a heart's not good enough
We're a long, long way from love.
Casting off the night's disguises,
Heaven ends when day begins.
Playing hit and run with heartache,
It's a game nobody wins.
