If you could see me now 
The one who said she rather roll away 
The one who said she rather be gone 
If you could only see me now 

If Icould hold you now 
(For)Just one moment if could really make you mine 
If I could could turn the hands of time 
If you could only see me now 

Coz I'been too long in the rain 
too long in the wind 
seeking any comfort that I can 
Looking back and longing for the freedom from my chains 
Lying in your arms once again
