About My Soul Pleads for You

"My Soul Pleads For You" is the second single released from Blue band-member Simon Webbe's second solo album, Grace.

The B-side for the single is a cover version of The Killers first single, "When You Were Young", recorded live on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. The single was only released in the UK and the Netherlands, the latter due to notable airplay and live performances by Webbe in the country.

Oh yeh yeh, oh oh, hey

There's a place I've never been
A place I long to be
Will I reach? I just don't know
Still I hope one day I'll go, hey

My wish just never seems to come, yeh
I know for certain you're the one, yeh
So close I get, still no cigar
Carrying my wounded heart, yeh

I can't stop the river from running, I can't, I can't
I can't stop the rain from falling down on me, oh no no
I know I'm not what you want
I'm hoping in time you'll see how
My soul pleads for you

Not every time you meet someone and
You both just click in a minute
Baby it's the eye contact, smile like that
Click click and you're rolling
Can't stop calling you, I don't know what to do
Baby you're making me break down all of my rules, yeh

I can't stop the river from running, (I can't stop the river from running)
I can't stop the rain from falling down on me, oh no no
I know I'm not what you want
I'm hoping in time you'll see how
My soul pleads for you, yeh, yeh, yeh

Now I can believe you've put a spell on me
Oh it's the way it seems, I can't keep you out my dreams
Oh I get chills baby, when I can't talk to you
I'm in pain and I hope you feel the way I do

I can't stop the river from running, (I can't stop the river from running)
I can't stop the rain from falling down on me, oh no no
I know I'm not what you want
I'm hoping in time you'll see how
My soul pleads for you, yeh, yeh, yeh

I know for certain you're the one baby
So close, and no cigar
I carry this, my wounded heart
So close but yet so far

Chorus until fade
