Lyrics
Little sister don't you worry about a thing today Take the heat from the sun Little sister I know that everything is not ok But you're like honey on my tongue
True love never can be rent But only true love can keep beauty innocent
I could never take a chance Of losing love to find romance In the mysterious distance Between a man and a woman No I could never take a chance Cos I could never understand The mysterious distance Between a man and a woman
You can run from love And if it's really love it will find you Catch you by the heel But you can't be numb for love The only pain is to feel nothing at all How can I hurt when I'm holding you?
I could never take a chance Of losing love to find romance In the mysterious distance Between a man and a woman
And you're the one, there's no-one else You make me want to lose myself In the mysterious distance Between a man and a woman
Brown eyed girl across the street On rue Saint Divine I thought this is the one for me But she was already mine You were already mine
Little sister I've been sleeping in the street again Like a stray dog Little sister I've been trying to feel complete again But you're gone and so is God
The soul needs beauty for a soul mate When the soul wants, the soul waits
No I could never take a chance On losing love to find romance In the mysterious distance Between a man and a woman
For love and sex and faith and fear And all the things that keep us here In the mysterious distance Between a man and a woman
How can I hurt when I'm holding you?
