Get My Hands on You
(from the CD Nails and Crosses)
I've loved you all my life I guess
You know I always will
I fell for you the night we met
And right now I'm falling still
There's nothing I can re-arrange
There's nothing I can do
But I'd tear myself apart
If I could get my hands on you.
There's a little bar Darlinghurst
A house in a quiet street
A fallen angel standing guard
At the place we used to meet
Love never cut like this before
It never felt so true
And I'd tear myself apart
If I could get my hands on you.
You know I'll always wait for you
No matter where you've been
I'll always wait and long for you
I'll always welcome you in.
I see you with your hair tied back
I see it tumbling down
I see you dance, I hear you laugh
I see you spinning around
I see you smile at every turn
I see your anger too
And I'd tear myself apart
If I could get my hands on you.
If we ever meet again
Further down the track
No matter where, no matter when
I'll always want you back
I thought that I was home at last
But I was only passing through
And I'd tear myself apart
If I could get my hands on you.
