Manor of My Mind

[Verse 1]
Kiss me awake.
Brush along my lips.
Breathe morning in me.

[Verse 2]
Whisper my name.
Unveil the sunrise.
Dawning of the day.

[Chorus]
Don't let me slip away.
Don't let me fall away.
Don't let me be alone...
Again.

[Verse 3]
Touch me alive.
Melt in my dreams.
Step into my world.

[Verse 4]
Hold me close.
Linger at my side.
Sink into me.

[Chorus]
Won't let you slip away.
Won't let you fall away.
Won't let you be alone...
Again.

[Bridge]
Living in the manor of my mind, in the manner that I've tried.
I've yearned for your touch, learned I've missed so very much.

[Verse 5]
Love brings warmth.
Can't wait for morning.
More real than my dreams.

[Chorus]
Don't let us slip away.
Don't let us fall away.
Don't let us be alone...
Ever again.
