[English]

Darling, you're with me, always around me

Only love, only love

Darling, I feel you, under my body

Only love, only love

Give me shelter, or show me heart

Come on love, come on love

Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart

And I'll be yours to keep

Wind in the shadows, whale song in the deep

Wind in the shadows, whale song in the deep

Darling, you're with me, always around me

Only love, only love

Darling, I feel you, under my body

Only love, only love

Give me shelter, or show me heart

Come on love, come on love

Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart

And I'll be yours to keep

Wind in the shadows, whale song in the deep

Wind in the shadows, whale song

Darling, you're with me, always around me

Only love, only love

Darling, I feel you, under my body

Only love, only love

Give me shelter, or show me heart

Come on love, come on love

Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart

Watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart

Watch me fall apart

Fall apart

Only love, love, love

Only love, love, love

Only love, love, love

Girl, show me heart

Come on love, love, love

Come on love, love, love

Come on love, love, love

Watch me fall apart

Come on love, love, love

Come on love, love, love

Come on love, love, love

Girl, show me heart

Show me love, love, love

Show me love, love, love

Show me love, love, love

Watch me fall apart

Watch me fall apart

Darling, I feel you, under my body

Darling, you're with me, forever and always

Give me shelter, or show me heart

And watch me fall apart, watch me fall apart
