I gathered a mountain
An ocean of teardrops
A castle of break-ups

To hide myself in

I?ve waited a lifetime

For someone to find me
For someone to reach me
Somewhere to begin


Now I?m a woman
I can tell by the look in your eyes

We?re no strangers
I can tell by the way that you smile


I?ve painted the sunsets
The dawnings I?ve missed you
The hours I?ve kissed you

To keep my heart alive

It?s the heat of your breathing

The way you are whispering
The urge of your wanting
I can?t leave you behind


Now I?m a woman
I can tell by the look in your eyes

We?re no strangers
I can tell by the waves in the night


You bring a little hope, bring a little love

I don?t want to own you

I don?t want to lead you
I just want to love you


In my own way
