Often these days

And always these nights

I find I'm afraid

Of the turbulent heights

No matter how crazily

No matter how far

The moments of tenderness

Are those where you are


chorus:


For when you are laughing

Like silver, like rain

You cool me, you soothe me

And love me again

For a few perfect hours

The world lets me be

You know how to calm down, Oh oh

The panic in me

The panic in me

The panic in me

The panic in me


Once in a while

I slip back to my past

Where I long to remain

But the dream does not last

In the trials of the present

No matter how low

You bring me such peace

And you won't let me go


(repeat chorus)


In the trials of the present

No matter how low

You bring me such peace

And you won't let me go

Oh don't let me go


(repeat chorus)

It's an interesting song, though I can imagine something more faster for the lyrics.

4½ stars.

4 stars - Good song, with perhaps the highlight being the orchestral arrangement by Jeremy Lubbock.

nice song... kinda monotonous, but vocals and atmosphere make up for it.
