Lie Back and Think of You

ooh baby everything's wrong and nothing's right
when I can't feel you there warming the long and lonely night
I get this aching in my heart
and when it's tearing me apart
I have to lie back and think of you, oh yeah

ooh baby torment comes reeling off the line
when you're not in my arms,
when you're not physically mine
I get this aching in my heart
and when it's tearing me apart
I have to lie back and think of you

out in every extremity
when there's no tangibility
there's a need to enfold you
and a feeling of fingertips empty

when I'm all alone in my bed
rolling images in my head
there's a necessity
to feel you right there next to me,

oh believe me now baby
my heart keeps missing you so much
craving tactility
longing to have you there to touch
I get this aching in my heart
and when it's tearing me apart
I have to lie back and think of you, oh yeah

when my fingers can't reach and clasp
your sweet body within their grasp
when they reach out to touch you
there's a hunger, a yearning , a burning

when I'm lying there all alone
made to meditate on my own
in my dire distress
I need you to stroke and caress
oh believe me now - my heart's...

.. out in a lonely empty space
when we can't cuddle close
when we can't bodily embrace

I get this aching in my heart
and when it's tearing me apart
I have to lie back and think of,

lie back and think of,
lie back and think of you
