Woman Of Numbers

You’re a woman of numbers
Counting the cards in the pack
And I’ve heard there are rumours
That you have all the things that I lack

With your soft silky lace
And your fingers that chase
The shadows of fear from my brow
As we struggle and slip 
And twist in the grip
Of love’s longing so naked and proud
So naked and proud 

Now I follow behind you
I’m there wherever you go
And I heard that you loved me
But you just didn’t want me to know

I had a dream in my bed 
That our love was dead
It was broken beyond all desire
Slow motion, not a word
Everything blurred
I couldn’t see it was like looking through fire
Like looking through fire 

Now somewhere inside you
There’s a place where I’ve never been
And if you opened the doorway
I wonder would I step in

With your soft silky lace
And your fingers that trace
The shadows of fear from my brow
As we struggle and slip 
And twist in the grip
Of love’s longing so naked and proud

I had a dream in my bed 
That our love was dead
It was broken beyond all desire
Slow motion, not a word
Everything blurred
I couldn’t see it was like looking through fire
Like looking through fire
