After all these nights together I still get lost in your perfume And if I could write a love song every line would tell the truth It would be a warm and soft one he'd watch my heart would say to you. When you see me walk on water when the sea don't reach the shore When the fires of hell freeze over I won't need you anymore Oh the feelings lay so easy lying here the way we are And no one else could ever hold me like the heavens hold the stars. When you see me walk on water when the sea don't reach the shore When the fires of hell freeze over I won't need you anymore. No, I won't need you I won't need you anymore
