Lyrics
Darling, you're with me, always around me
Only love, my only love
Darling, I feel you, under my body
Only love, my only love
Give me shelter, oh, show me heart
Come on, love, come on, love
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart

And I'll be yours to keep
A wind in the shadows, whale song in the deep
A wind in the shadows, whale song in the deep

Darling, you're with me, always around me
Only love, my only love
Darling, I feel you, under my body
Only love, my only love
Give me shelter, oh, show me heart
Come on, love, come on, love
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart
Ooh

And I'll be yours to keep
A wind in the shadows, whale song in the deep
A wind in the shadows, whale song

Darling, you're with me, always around me
Only love, my only love
Darling, I feel you, under my body
Only love, my only love
Give me shelter, oh, show me heart

Come on love, come on love
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart
Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart

Only love, love, love, only love, love, love
Only love love love, girl, show me heart
Come on love, love, love, come on love, love, love
Come on love, love, love, watch me fall apart
Come on love, love, love, come on love, love, love
Come on love, love, love, girl, show me heart
Show me love love love, show me love love love
Show me love love love, watch me fall apart
Watch me fall apart

Darling, I feel you under my body
Mmm, darling, you're with me forever and always
Give me shelter or show me heart
And watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart
