![]() Mirror Ball (1999) [ larger cover art ] |
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'd 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'd 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
Cause 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'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes...

She is sour on this recording. If the fidelity isn't there why play a live version? I understand that a S McLachlan fan may find the energy of the song or the memories it brings back appealing. But for the casual listener why not the studio version? |
| kurtster (Back in Ohiya, for now ...) | Posted: Mar 22, 2013 - 20:03 Love this as much as the original studio take. Maybe more over time. |
| krysthal (Toronto, Canada) | Posted: Aug 14, 2012 - 23:45 Love this version. Really rocking, but with all the emotion and passion of the original. Lyrics are also a little clearer and easier to understand. Camille Henderson was performing the background vocals on this track and tour. |
| jerdoggie | Posted: Jun 12, 2012 - 22:09 This was "our song" in a very tortured and failed relationship many years ago. So, though it's a great song, I have mixed feelings about it. |

| MirageRF (Clemmons, NC, USA) | Posted: Apr 10, 2012 - 09:48 One of a kind. Speaks to the lost souls among us. |
| smackiepipe (Western North Carolina) | Posted: Apr 10, 2012 - 09:37 That was fantastic. |
| Dave_Mack (Ball of Confusion) | Posted: Apr 10, 2012 - 09:35 Dig the searing geetar solo. I think this really improves on the original. |
| gillespp (Portland, OR) | Posted: Apr 10, 2012 - 09:33 She does this song so well live. Check out this version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UgPeBjHIjE |
