Her No. 8 Love Song: Possession
Songwriter: Sarah McLachlan

Listen as the wind blows
From across the great divide.
Voices trapped in yearning,
Memories trapped in time.
The night is my companion
And solitude my guide.
Would I spend forever here
And not be satisfied?

And I would be the one
To hold you down,
Kiss you so hard
I’ll take your breath away.
And after I wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes, dear.

Through this world I’ve stumbled
So many times betrayed,
Trying to find an honest word,
To find the truth enslaved.
Oh you speak to me in riddles and
You speak to me in rhymes.
My body aches to breathe your breath
Your words keep me alive.

And I would be the one
To hold you down
Kiss you so hard
I’ll take your breath away.
And after I wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes, dear.

Into this night I wander.
It’s morning that I dread.
Another day of knowing of
The path I fear to tread.
Oh, into the sea of waking dreams
I follow without pride.
Nothing stands between us here,
And I won’t be denied.

And I would be the one
To hold you down.
Kiss you so hard
I’ll take your breath away.
And after I wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes, dear.

I'll hold you down.
Kiss you so hard
I’ll take your breath away.
And after I wipe away the tears,
Just close your eyes.
