I fell in love with a voice in the midnight air
Gliding across the room she was studying me
Such a simple thing to do
The touch of her hand, a question

If I gave you my life would you let it slip
Through your fingers like water in the dessert?
If I gave you my heart in the deep of the night
Would you hold it like a candle giving you light?

Days fell away into years, sunset memories
Standing on the edge of it all oh, she was worrying me
Such a typical thing to do
The reach of her hand, connection

If I gave you my life would you let it slip
Through your fingers like water in the dessert?
If I gave you my heart, in the deep of the night
Would you hold it like a candle?

Well, life fell away from her voice in the midnight air, hey
Lying on the moonlit ground as she was looking up at me, hey
Such a simple thing to do
Just as simple as the way she fades, fades away
Fades away, fades away

If I gave you my life would you let it slip
Through your fingers like water in the dessert?
If I gave you my heart in the deep of the night
Would you hold it like a candle giving you light?
Giving you light
