Sometimes When We Touch — текст песни (Rod Stewart)

(Barry Mann, 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
And 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 and all it`s strategy
leaves me battling with my pride
But through all the insecurity
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 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 ya till I die
till we both break down and cry
I want to hold you till the fear in me subsides
Subsides
