Shake my bones
Take
Take my hand
And moan and moan and moan and moan
And moan and moan and moan and moan and moan
Shadow my world
Place
Place your hand
Upon, upon, upon, upon
Upon, upon, upon, upon
Breathe in my love
Swim around my floor
Wake
Wake me up
And show and show and show and show
And show and show and show and show my love
My love

Rattle my heart
Rattle my heart
