TIL 'IANI

songbook



Wrapped in your arms, you ask me how we're here again, 
White sheets surrounding, bodies molten, bodies finally near again 
You ask how could I love you still after all those years of pain?  
I ask you, "Must you understand it to believe it?" 
 
You fold yourself around me and the world of you is good to me, 
The past of doubt and loneliness forgotten momentarily, 
You ask why now it seems right to accept my love and come to me, 
I ask you, "Why did you ever think you never should receive it?" 
 
Jeg må prøver at røre dig med min sang, Iani, 
Til at vise dig hvordan jeg har elsket dig engang, Iani, 
Du må høre godt på mig, en ting at jeg er bange for, Iani, 
Er at du kunne glemme hvordan jeg har haft det for dig. 
 
     But my senses know the ecstasies I find 
     Are all lies within my eyes and in my mind, 
     To escape the loneliness of life without you 
     I threw myself into a dream about you. 
 
And the vision shimmers, dissipates in sharpness of reality, 
And the waiting and the wanting for you not to be afraid of me, 
As this time of lonely suffering over you knows no finality 
I ask my mind if I really thought I could deceive it?

        C                                  Em 
Wrapped in your arms, you ask me how we're here again, 
 
                          Bb                            Dm 
White sheets surrounding, bodies molten, bodies finally near again 
 
                    F                              Dm 
You ask how could I love you still after all those years of pain?  
 
  C                       Em            C 
I ask you, "Must you understand it to believe it?" 
 
 
            F                           G7 
     But my sesnes know the ecstacies I find 
 
             C                             F 
     Are all lies within my eyes and in my mind, 
 
          C                               Em 
     To escape the loneliness of life without you 
 
       F                          Em 
     I threw myself into a dream about you.
