Sometimes When We Touch - Steve Hofmeyr

作词：Dan Hill

作曲：Dan Hill

You ask me if I love you

And I choke on my reply

I'd rather hurt you honestly

Than mislead you with a lie

Who am I to judge you

In what you say or do

I'm only just beginning

To see the real you

And sometimes when we touch

The honesty' s too much

And I have to close my eyes

And hide

I want to hold you till I die

Till we both break down and cry

I want to hold you till

the fear in me subsides

Romance' s in all strategy

Leaves me battling with my pride

But through the years security

Some tenderness survives

I' m just another writer

Still trapped within my truth

A hesitant prize-fighter

Still trapped within my youth

And sometimes when we touch

The honesty' s too much

And I have to close my eyes

And hide

I want to hold you till I die

Till we both break down and cry

I want to hold you till

the fear in me subsides

At times I' d

like to break you

And drive you to your knees

At times I' d

like to break through

And hold you endlessly

At times I understand you

And I know how hard you try

I've watched while

love commands you

And I' ve watched

love pass you by

At times I think we' re drifters

Still searching for a friend

A brother or a sister

But then the passion flares again

And sometimes when we touch

The honesty's too much

And I have to close my eyes

And hide

I want to hold you till I die

Till we both break down and cry

I want to hold you till

the fear in me subsides
