In a room full of silver shadows

A customary kiss goodnight

And it slips through your tightened shoulders

It reaches your heart and dies



And the sadness is bound to kill me

But I'm too far away to care

And I'd just like to know if you will

Oh could I even get there



Oh

Back to the touch and go

When not a soul could know

When your lovin' was slow

We lived every night for the touch and go



Now there's no one in the night to blame you

No one in your glasses of wine

I never won I only tamed you

Foolishly I called you mine

And your pacing in your cage every morning

And you rattle your chains every night

And you stare past the bars never knowing

With nothing left to put up a fight



Oh

Then we would touch and go

When not a soul could know

Oh your lovin' was slow

And we lived every night for the touch

Oh I remember

The touch and go

When not a soul could know

Oh your lovin' was slow

We lived every night for the touch and go



Are you still breathing



Tonight the scent is in the city

Tonight it's on the radio

Tonight I'll leave the key beside the door

Tonight I'm gonna touch and go



Touch and go
