mark of caine lyrics

It's Christmas time and I'm lonely
Here, y'know the living ain't easy
If you forget the power to love
I said, "Don't give up, don't give up"

If only I could see you once again
If only to put my lips against you again
Don't hold back the power to love
Don't hold back the power to love

Don't hold back, yeah
From the pluck of the lyre
In the arms of desire

It was dry and a fine day
When we first came ashore
I wasn't really sure
What I was looking for

Tracks of my mind
Made the tracks of my arms
Seemed a lot more of a curse

To make matters worse
I was lonely for you
So lonely for you, yeah
So lonely

Oh, if I should see you once again
If only to press my lips to yours
Don't give up the power to love
And don't hold back the power to love

Don't hold back ah, yeah
From the pluck of the lyre
In the arms of desire

And the tracks of my mind
Seemed more like a curse, baby

Right there and then
I saw or swore I could see
With my own two eyes
Yo' lying eyes, yo' lying eyes

Yes, right there and then
It made the tracks of my mind
Seem worse the tracks of my arms
A lot more of a curse

Oh, lonely for you, baby, yeah
So lonely for you, baby, yeah
So lonely for you, baby, yeah

And the tracks of my mind
Seemed more like a curse
The tracks of my mind
Seemed more like a curse, baby

I was lonely for you, baby, yeah
So lonely for you, baby, yeah
So lonely for you, baby, yeah
