Wipe the make-up from your face

Tie your hair and gently fall from grace

Until I come again

Take the disaffected life

Men who ran the company ran your life

You could have been his wife



I wanna love you but my hands are tied

I wanna stay here but I've been denied

Let's watch the clock until the morning sun does rise



Wipe the sweat from off your brow

All that you believe is here and now

You could have had more doubt



Wipe the shadow from your eyes

Rest your daughter while your mother cries

You could have let him fly



I wanna hold you but my hands are tied

I wanna stay here but I've been denied

I wanna lie here 'til we've killed this bitter doubt



I wanna hold you but my hands are tied

I wanna stay here but I've been denied

Let's watch the clock until the morning sun does rise



I wanna hold you but my hands are tied

I wanna sleep here but I've been denied

I wanna stay here 'til we've killed this bitter doubt



I wanna hold you but my hands are tied

I wanna sleep here but I've been denied

Let's watch the clock until the morning sun comes out
