This could last all day
It's heaven when you hold me
Maybe fall like rain all around me
Heaven when you hold me
I am alive
I'm not asking Lay me down
You're not saying In your arms
I'm not asking for much Let me stay
To believe in In your arms
You're not leaving
I'm not staying
This could last all day
You know that I am
Painted when you touch me
Heaven when you hold me
Open my eyes
Inside, I'm a lot like you
I'm not asking Lay me down
You're not saying In your arms
I'm not asking for much Next to your beautiful skin
To believe in I can feel it
You're not leaving In your arms
Wish I was staying
Close my eyes, so I can see
Your love, the light that shines on
Oh, how you take my breath away
When you fall like rain and surround me
Baby, don't let go
Spirit, don't let go
Let me stay in your arms
I'm not asking for much
But to lay me down
Why don't you set me down
Let me hide in your arms
Let me breathe, close my eyes
Let me see, pour your love on me
Oh, how you take my breath away
| Stephenater (Marin County, CA) | Posted: Apr 25, 2013 - 16:30 Not familiar with this song, but pretty nice. Sounds like alt-J with Billy Corgan on the mike... |

| Stingray (EUROPE) | Posted: Dec 26, 2010 - 10:17 Hello RP-Listeners! I wish all of you "MERRY CHRISTMAS", wherever you are - whoever you wanna be! Christmas is a sweet-naive tradition - not a religious event! I like it anyway! Still - I hope Bill takes the chance to rock the christmas-tree to pieces tonight! "Happy Christmas your "BAD SANTA", aka STINGRAY -from Cologne/Germany- PS Sermon of the day (promise: I'm serious): The "Three Wise Men" - Melchior, Balthasar + Caspar are buried in a golden sarcophage in"our" dome, the famous "Cologne dome" - the third highest church-building in the world - right in the very centre of town, next to the Rhine. A gothic building of extra-class!

Your choice, but don't blame companies for not giving you what you want when you won't buy what you like. Oh yeah, not a fan of this song. |
| newwavegurly | Posted: Nov 09, 2009 - 13:39 Yeah... I like this even less than the last time I heard it. 5 — > 4 |
| Sloggydog (UK) | Posted: Sep 07, 2009 - 12:58 I didn't like it much and then it just kept going on when i knew florence was on next and that made me mad, then i listened to the boring lyrics and it had to wind up a 2. |
| beerforever (Sarasota, FL) | Posted: Jun 04, 2009 - 12:58 Sucks ass.....  |
| Mnemo (close to munich) | Posted: Apr 02, 2009 - 07:30 I always thought its about drugs, intoxication and addiction. But is it really a earnest, trivial christian love song? :) |
| Egrey (WASH, DC) | Posted: May 21, 2008 - 14:23 I can't believe these guys are still around. Wow. |

I thought the same thing - "Oh, good, it's over! Let's see...the next song is...oh. It's not over yet. Darn." |

Tell me about it. I originally got a Yahoo Music subscription so I could listen to more stuff that RP introduced me to, without having to go out and buy the CDs all the time. Now I do BOTH. Pay RP... Pay Yahoo... Buy CDs... music is my drug of choice. |

| auburntigerrich (Mesa, AZ) | Posted: Jan 07, 2007 - 08:00 This one had such an attention grabbing start... etheral, with an inticing bassline and piano work... but it just never gets started! I kept waiting and waiting for the explosion. It's like a 4 minute long intro. And it's really tough for anyone (especially that woman) to harmonize with this guy. Still a 4 for the guitar work. |

| coding_to_music (Beantown) | Posted: May 18, 2006 - 12:06 A bit precious for me... too earnest, not enough authenticity... |

| rascal420 (Truckee, CA - 5000 feet above Paradise) | Posted: Dec 08, 2005 - 15:39 Any band that puts the words "violet" and "burning" in their name is brave. Having the words actually next to each other is really hanging it out there. |

| Roverfish (Tucson, AZ - Thanks for visiting, please drive through!) | Posted: Aug 27, 2005 - 17:56 THIS is why I listen to RP. NEVER heard of these guys, and probably never would. Not sure I'd buy their disc based on this one tune, but it's still pretty good. Per usual, thanks, RP. |
