Lyrics
When The Body Speaks
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
To the soul's desires
The body listens
What the flesh requires
Keeps the heart imprisoned
What the spirit seeks
The mind will follow
When the body speaks
All else is hollow
I'm just an angel
Driving blindly
Through this world
I'm just a slave here
At the mercy
Of a girl
Oh, I need your tenderness
Oh, I need your touch
Oh, I dream of one caress
Oh, I pray too much
To the soul's desires
The body listens
What the flesh requires
Keeps the heart imprisoned
What the spirit seeks
The mind will follow
When the body speaks
All else is hollow
You keep me waiting
For the promise
That is mine
Please stop debating
Please stop wasting
Your time
Oh, I need your tenderness
Oh, I need your touch
Oh, I dream of one caress
Oh, I pray too much
