I feel a touch like like the touch of your hand

I hear a voice down the hall

Give me an ocean to wash me away 
D         Em        C 
Give me a river to ride 
D         Em      C 
Give me a fire to burn down these walls

With all these memories inside

Love takes you where you don't want to go

Down where the waters run deep

I'm going to drive looking tonight for someone that I used to know 
C                 G        Em         D         C 
And I'll say your name but that was a long time ago
