You, with your hand outstretched
Finger on the key
This lock that you release
Is opening but isn't free
And I hope that you can see
How it beats inside of me
I want to run I want to hide
I am vulnerably yours

She, who is wanting me
Whose touch can make me cry
I can only understand
By never asking her why
Hear the contradictions fly
And as hard as I may try
Every truth becomes a lie
In the ache of her reply
I am passionately

Yours
And the saddest eyes are
Yours
And the softest skin is
Yours
And the hope I borrow is
Yours
So won't you let me in I'm yours
All that I begin is yours
Every prize I win is yours
At your feet again I'm yours
All I am is yours

All I am is wanting you
I've fallen down and I can't seem to come to
If I should die before I wake
I commend my soul into this ache
Up above the world so high
Where the water tends to meet the sky
She's all I'm after by the toe
And I won't let go

And I wanted you to know
That if you reap what you would sew
I would take it blow by blow
All I am is

Yours
And the saddest eyes are
Yours
And the softest skin is
Yours
And the hope I borrow is
Yours
So won't you let me in I'm yours
All that I being is yours
Every prize I win is yours
At your feet again I'm yours
All I am is yours
Yours

    General Comment:Umm..I dont know about JP just writing it to show how easy it is to write a moving love song but i found this.

    John: "I saw Immortal Beloved, the Beethoven story with Gary Oldman. I came home determined to write something passionate. And so that's what I did. It's about a young lady I know;
    I don't think I want to give her name."
    "She's also the inspiration of the first song ("Carolina Blues") which will tell you how things change..."

    General Comment:Although this is a great song (one of my favorites of BT), I happen to know JP wrote this song with a view to showing how easy it is to write a moving love song... Which still kicks me in the face a bit.. :(

    "All I am is wanting you, I have fallen down and can't seem to come too.." how many times have I felt like that? All I can say he must be a genius
