When I first set my green eyes onto you underneath a big crescent moon
Weak-kneed and shakin' like a fresh newborn colt minutes outside of the womb
My heart was poundin' away in my ear, thought I'd OD on the blood
Then I got dizzy and damn near fell down, an Eskimo out in the mud
You don't wanna say
Tell me anyway
Tell me anyway my love
Don't you slip away
Don't you slip away
Don't you slip away on love
Cause it's easy to fall but not easy to dream
Caught in the current and pushing upstream
Winds up a whisper but starts as a scream
Darlin' please
Darlin' please
My heart it pounds to the change in the air each time you walk in the room
Feels to me just like heroin does prophesy an impending doom
Suicide lemming ahead of the slice rushing headlong off the cliff
Darlin' just whisper whatever you want and I'll give you all I can give
You don't wanna say
Tell me anyway
Tell me anyway my love
Don't you slip away
No don't you slip away
Don't you slip away on love
Cause it's easy to fall but not easy to dream
Caught in the current and pushing upstream
Winds up a whisper but starts as a scream
Darlin' please
Darlin' please
Darlin' please
