Yearning

Watching that evening sun go down
Within that darkness, I will be found
Gazing up at that starlight
Got my baby in my arms, you know I'm feeling alright
Watching that evening sun go down
Watching that evening sun go so slowly down.

I can feel the earth beneath me turning
Deep inside of me, a soul filled with yearning
Cast myself upon the ground
Let it wash over me just like a wall of sound
I can feel the earth beneath me turning around
I can feel the earth beneath my body just turning around.

Lying there in the soft moonlight
My fears have given up without a fight
My weapons fallen without a sound
Hit from behind, and it gave me a fright
Got my baby in my arms, you know I'm feeling alright
I can feel the earth beneath me spinning around
I can feel the earth beneath my body just spinning around.

I can read the writing on the wall
I will face my fate with head held high and standing tall
Though I must admit that my heart is heavy
My will is strong, my hands are steady
I can read the writing on the wall
I will face my fate standing tall.

Lying there in the soft moonlight
All my fears have given up without a fight
Weapons fallen to the ground
Hit from behind, and it gave me a fright
I got my baby in my arms, you know I'm feeling alright
I can feel the earth beneath me just spinning around
I can feel the earth beneath my body just spinning around.

I can feel the earth beneath my body just spinning around.
