Help me get through this night of sighing
That's heavy as your velvet dress
Draw me into your arms on threads of moonlight
Catch me as I mean to confess
Why all my colours are blue
I've been back and forth for ever
Between a room, a name and the night
Love has gathered me together
Love has spilt me from it's height
And done it over again
And I've lived a life of confusion
Between my nature and my better sense
Life has offered me no solution
But to keep a grip on myself
Love's had its highest proof
Still I long for the union
Of body, heart and mind
A spiritual communion
Of lovers intertwined
To live with compassion
To show a little love
Live with compassion
Show a little love
With my soul I need to feel you
Speak it to me soft again
And my body longs to hear you
Tell it with the sweetest of pain:
There'll be an end to it all
But while the heavenly bodies are moving
And we cannot conquer their time
Let's discover ourselves in the ruins
Of what we tried to hold and define
And let the heart have the word
Yes, while we're living out our sentence
And we cannot stop the flood
Let us hold on to each other
Try to make the best of us
We're only strong when we choose
Still I long for the union
Of body, heart and mind
The mystical communion
Of lovers intertwined
To live with compassion
To show a little love
Live with compassion
Show a little love
Touch my hand across a table
Meet my eyes across a room
I'll sing your name over cities
I'll light your hair up with the moon
The night shall echo my praise
And all life
All life shall echo my praise of you
Just help me get through this night of sighing
That's heavy as your velvet dress
Draw me into your arms on threads of moonlight
Catch me as I mean to confess
Why all my colours are blue
All my colours
Are blue
