Move away from the window and into the light

C Bb Gm Bb
The force of life is rushing through our veins
C Bb Gm Bb
In and out like the tide it comes in waves

With outstretched hands reaching beyond love

Before our juices run cold and our flesh grows old

I'll take you to the angels if you'll take me to myself
