Lyrics

Desire

[Verse 1]

In the dark, near the heart

Close to real desire

In my words, in my eyes

Can't you feel the desire?

[Verse 2]

We will wait for the night

We will wait for desire

Bittersweet, laugh and cry

Tears that taste of desire

[Chorus]

Hunted down through the days

Caught in nets of desire

Feel the loss as it fades

Can't forget desire

[Verse 4]

Keep in touch, keep in track

Of this thing called desire

There'll be times when we'll do

Anything for desire

[Chorus]

Hunted down through the days

Caught in nets of desire

Feel the loss as it fades

Can't forget desire

[Verse 5]

Keep in touch, keep in track

Keep within the reach of desire

There'll be times when we'll do

Anything for desire

[Outro]

We will wait for the night

We will wait

We will wait for the night

We will wait

We will wait for the night

We will wait

We will wait for the night

We will wait
