The reach of her hand, connection

If I gave you my life would you let it slip
If I gave you my heart in the deep of the night
Such a typical thing to do
The touch of her hand, a question
Through your fingers like water in the dessert?
Would you hold it like a candle?
Such a simple thing to do
Fades away, fades away
Would you hold it like a candle giving you light?
If I gave you my life would you let it slip

Well, life fell away from her voice in the midnight air, hey
If I gave you my heart, in the deep of the night
Lying on the moonlit ground as she was looking up at me, hey
Just as simple as the way she fades, fades away
If I gave you my life would you let it slip
Through your fingers like water in the dessert?
Would you hold it like a candle giving you light?
Days fell away into years, sunset memories
If I gave you my heart in the deep of the night
Such a simple thing to do
Through your fingers like water in the dessert?
Giving you light

Standing on the edge of it all oh, she was worrying me
