Verse 1
There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.
Chorus 1
But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and,
The light that you shine can be seen.
Chorus 2
Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey.

Verse 2
There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny... Yeah.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?
