She was frozen
her light would not see the day

I walked away
you wanted it that way
now, I watch the cars pass by at night
things had to be that way
sirens rage through the silent night
things had to be that way

Oh I, who am I to seek
who am I to seek
Desire

Cold London morn'
we fit tight in the storm

You seized the day
it had to be that way
never mind what's only a piece of my heart
nothing could change that way
you should have nailed me up to the sky
there was a better way

Oh I, who was I to seek
who was I to seek
Desire

Now, heaven's gone
or heaven at least to me

my time is up
it has to be that way
these nights I walk the streets alone

it has to be that way
now I watch the windows at night
there is no other way,

Oh I, who am I to seek
who am I to seek
Desire

Oh I, Oh I,

who was I to seek
who was I to seek
Desire
