Lyrics:Don't Let Me Go [Version (a)]:
On a desert road with no way home
I was lost and alone now, baby
I was feelin' adrift, behind the window tint
And the pouring rain couldn't save me
Oh, think I'm gonna change my life
I feel like it could take all night
Follow you over the edge of my love, edge of my love
No, don't let me go, it gets so cold
When I get back home, I need your love
The warmth of the sun, your arms around me
When my working day is done
On a sunny day, I was so deranged
Trying to turn the page on the story
Like I had a clue what she wanted to do
When I got to the end, I was crazy
Oh, I was holdin' up the hollow moon
The stars were shining bluer than blue
All of the angels in heaven are waiting for you
No, don't let me go, it gets so cold
When I get back home, I need your love
The warmth of the sun, your arms around me
I'm begging you
No, don't let me go, it gets so cold
When I get back home, I need your love
The warmth of the sun, your arms around me
When my working day is done
