Loving You
Sunset Blvd. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Loving You
Loving you couldn't be more easy
Missing you couldn't be more hard
Loving you
Sink me in the deeper pain
Teach me the language again
Travel me in distant lands
Dance me your dangerous dance
Steer to windward of life
Steer to leeward of life
Tell me it's a long way
Tell me it's a long way
Hum me the sadest rimes
Whisper the purest ones
Heal me with midnight prayers
Feed me with morning lights
Show me where seas end
Lead me where sun aches
Fly me where clouds fade
Use me as much as you can
Leave me there
Close enough
To the ocean
Say Goodbye
Hold my hand
My devotion
Am I tired
Am I numbed
As the mire
Am I sad
Am I wrong
Or a liar
Take me as far as you can
Wish I could know where will end
Tell me it's a long way
Tell me it's a long way
Sink me in the deeper pain
Teach me the language again
Travel me in distant lands
Dance me your dangerous dance
Steer to windward of life
Steer to leeward of life
Tell me it's a long way
Tell me it's a long way
Hum the saddest rimes
Whisper the purest ones
Take me as far as you can
Wish I could know where will end
Am I tired
Am I numbed
As the mire
Am I sad
Am I wrong
Or a liar
Take me as far as you can
Wish I could know where will end




Tell me it's a long way
Tell me it's a long way
