When all are dizzy and happy from too much wine
I leave the party behind
To walk alone with my thoughts and this spinning mind
Through this cold night but there she stands
And she walks like you
And she smiles almost like you
A child of the wild just like you
For a second I think I get a glimpse
Of the real her, behind
She's warm and fragile with smiles that reach to her eyes
But just this moment a change so sublime
If she looked me deep into my eyes
And softly asked me to
I'd be in her bed and in her flesh
And waste a life I knew
So I hold my breath and close my eyes
And focus on the wine
Let this trembling moment pass us by
So I could say goodnight
But then, on impulse I almost touched her face
Before I pulled back my hand
And we get nervous we laugh and she spills her wine
Both so awkward, for what's on our mind
And she talks like you
And she smells almost like you
A child of the wild just like you
But she's not all you
Even strives not to be you
Just like every sister would do
And perhaps it's the wine
Or that you're in her eyes
But I want her this one single time
Just this one time
If she looked me deep into my eyes
And softly asked me too
I'd be in her bed and in her flesh
And waste a life I knew
So I hold my breath and close my eyes
And focus on the wine
Let this trembling moment pass us by
So I could say goodnight
And if I'd looked into her eyes
And softly asked her too
She would give herself and give her flesh
And waste a life she knew
So we hold our breath, and close our eyes
And take a sip of wine
But this thirst has emptied every glass
And we should say goodnight
God, help me say goodnight
