Erasure - Always Lyrics

Open your eyes I see
Your eyes are open
Wear no disguise for me
Come into the open

When its cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame

Always
I wanna be with you
And make believe with you
And live in harmony harmony oh love

Melting the ice for me
Jump into the ocean
Hold back the tide I see
Your love in motion

When its cold outside
Am I here in vain?
Hold on to the night
There will be no shame
