Linda Eder - A Woman In His Arms lyrics

A fallen tear, a blush of fear A wave of fresh desire Bewildered by this man that I adore Is love this strange? Do people change? No, nothing moves that fast Tomorrow I'll be who I was before But I'm a woman in his arms I am nothing but a woman when I'm in his arms With his hands he's drawing out the doubts I hide He touches me and finds a beauty lost inside I've never felt my skin so bare Never known a stroke so silken in my hair Now it's raining and he murmurs through my skin Words I cannot hear and still I drink them in God, I drink him in And there he is, this man lies sleeping All his power loosened and he's breathing hushed and mild He doesn't know I lie here Wishing I had never met him, he keeps sleeping like a child And I could still be strong enough to turn away But if I stay what will I be? I'll be a woman walking through his door A woman taken in his arms and wanting more Growing dizzy in the dark behind my eyes The heart does what it must I cannot fight this man Who makes me realize I'm just a woman who dies in his arms
