"Mark Of Caine" lyrics

It's Christmas time, and I'm lonely
Here y'know the living ain't easy
If you forget the power to love
I said, "Don't give up"
"Don't give up"

If only I could see you once again
If only to put my lips against you again
Don't hold back the power to love, oh
Don't hold back the power to love
Don't hold back, yeah, from the pluck of the lyre
In the arms of desire

It was dry and a fine day when we first came ashore
I wasn't really sure what I was looking for
Tracks of my mind made the tracks of my arms seemed a lot more of a curse
To make matters worse, I was lonely for you
So lonely for you
Baby, yeah, so lonely

Oh, if I should see you once again
If only to press my lips to yours, ah
Don't give up the power to love
And don't hold back the power to love
Don't hold back, aw yeah, from the pluck of the lyre
In the arms of desire
And the tracks of my mind seemed more like a curse, baby

Ow!
Ooh yeah

Right there and then I saw or swore I could see with my own two eyes
Yo' lying eyes, yo' lying eyes
Yes, right there and then
It made the tracks of my mind seem worse
And the tracks on my arms, a lot more of a curse
Oh, lonely for you, baby, yeah
So lonely for you, baby, yeah
So lonely for you, baby, yeah
And the tracks of my mind seemed more like a curse, ow
The tracks of my mind seemed more like a curse, baby
I was lonely for you, baby, yeah
So lonely for you, baby, yeah
So lonely for you, baby, yeah
And the tracks of my mind seemed more like a curse
