Iris (Hold Me Close)

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
The starThat gives us lightHas been gone for a whileBut it's not an illusionThe acheIn my heartIs so much a part of who I amSomething in your eyesTook a thousand years to get hereSomething in your eyesTook a thousand years, a thousand yearsHold me close, hold me close and don't let me goHold me closeLike I'm someone that you might knowHold me closeThe darkness just lets us see Who we areI've got your life inside of meIris? Iris?Once we are born, we begin to forgetThe very reason we cameBut youI'm sure I've metLong before the night the stars went outWe're meeting up againHold me close, hold me close and don't let me goHold me close like I'm someoneThat you might knowHold me closeThe darkness just lets us see Who we areI've got your life inside of meIris? Iris?The stars are bright but do they knowThe universe is beautiful but coldYou took me by the handI thought that I was leading youBut it was you who made me your manMachineI dreamWhere you areIris standing in the hallShe tells me I can do it allIris wakes to my nightmaresDon't fear the world it isn't thereIris playing on the strandShe buries the boy beneath the sandIris says that I will be the death of herIt was not meIris? Iris?She said: free yourself, to be yourselfIf only you could see yourselfFree yourself, to be yourselfIf only you could see?
