Your beacon's piercing through the darkness
Your bright light's keeping me awake
I bless the night I finally found you
I pray to love my soul to take

You cast me deep inside your soft spell

You paralyzed me with a whisper
You melted me with your caress

And the Lord knows I'll sleep when I'm dead
Oh the Lord knows I'll sleep when I'm dead
The Lord knows I'll sleep when I'm dead
So keep me up

And in the morning what a feeling
Rise into daylight by your side
Awaken me with wild abandon
Release me from my battered pride

Love, lavish me inside your sweet storm
Lord knows I didn't come prepared
Heavens open, wash me madly
I got no reason to be scared
