TOUCH Touch me and I'll know you're there Touch me and I'll know you care Touch me and you will connect Touch me and you will affect Stranded on a cluttered shore of intellect Trying to interpret from the indirect Freezing in the clutches of your cold respect Lost within the dungeon of your dialect Bodies that are close but will not intersect No sign of invasion, I need not protect Words are disembodied shades Memory of you just fades Hopes and dreams I cannot clutch All are meaningless but touch Touch me and I'll know you're there Touch me and I'll know you care Touch me and you will connect Touch me and you will affect Pound a helpless kid, more than pain you inject From a child's sweet grasping nature you defect Man's bound to affection but then you dissect Treat me like a leper, your fear will infect Passion's what a lover's stroke can resurrect Shield a friend within your arms, do not reject Words are disembodied shades Memory of you just fades Hopes and dreams I cannot clutch All are meaningless but touch Touch me From the album "Sanctify" ©2000 Rebel's Mother
