The Lingering Lyrics

I feel your kiss on my warm lips
I taste your lips on my tongue
I touch your trembling hand
I see the tear in your eye
the world lights up when you're near me
the night comes down when you're gone
a chill descends on my heart
the thrilll of loving is gone

oh the smell of your passion like roses of blood
haunts me, set me free
the shattering pain of your absence remains with me
let me be
oh the smell of your passion like roses of blood
haunts me, set me free
the shattering pain of your absence remains with me
let me be in your memory
kiss me lightly hold me tightly love me sweetly and completely

and every word that I whispered
and every caress you gave
the radiant light of your face
the cryptic curve of your smile

oh every moment still lingers
hard as I try to move on
but truth cannot be undone
my battle will never be won
oh the sun that drowned in a shimmering, burning sea
set me free
the tingling flesh of a body that yearns, I plea
let me be
oh the smell of your passion like roses of blood
haunts me, set me free
the shattering pain of your absence remains with me
let me be in memory
