Song Lyrics

I held the book so tightly in my hands,

I saw your picture, heard you call my name

There was something strange, I could not look away

I wanted to be there, I wanted to go

You gave me no warning

You gave no reason

But I was waiting you

Right by your side

Just give me the strength, and I will help you

And they can try their hardest, cos they don`t frighten me

It is written in the book

It is hotter than I`ve known before, but I feel so cold, and I don`t

know why

But if the fire within your heart can beat the storm

Then I really believe, you could make it right

Ooh the time has come now

We must show our feelings

But I`m looking right through you

And your heart is empty

Whatever happened to you it`s too late to change now

There`s nowhere you can run to, no place to hide

Ah you let me down!

...but wait a minute, I don`t understand

It`s getting stronger, so grab my hand

Don`t wanna leave you, don`t wanna go

But I`m losing all control

Can`t you see me? I`m slipping away

I can only stay if you`ve the will to keep me here

It is written in the book

Oh so many times since then I`ve read those words

Just waiting to see you, can you see me?
