Lyrics
Laying in Your Arms by Einen, 1980
The first time we were lovers
I sensed your tenderness
That's why I held you all night long
to feel your sweet caress
I was so afraid it all would pass away
When the darkness of the night turned into day
And laying in your arms I wanted more
And laying in your arms I wanted more
I can feel your eyes go through me
like sunlight through the lace
Making pretty patterns all around the place
But the shadows on the floor
can't cool the heat
As we lie here close beneath the sheets.
And your eyes beckon to me I want more
And your eyes beckon to me I want more
And my body hungers for you
like seedlings to the sun
Clinging dew drops on the vine
when first the day's begun
And I wonder if this fantasy is real
Never mind, it's still the way I feel.
And laying in your arms I wanted more
And laying in your arms I wanted more
And your eyes beckon to me I want more
And laying in your arms I love you more.
