I remember the nights
I watched as you lay sleeping
Your body gripped
By some far away dream
Well I was so scared
And so in love then
And so lost in
All of you that I had seen

But no one ever talked in the darkness
No voice ever added fuel to the fire
No light ever shone in the doorway
Deep in the hollow of earthly desires

But if in some dream there was brightness
If in some memory some sort of sign
And flesh be revived in the shadows
Blessed our bodies would lay so entwined

And I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you

I remember when you left
In the morning at daybreak
So silent you stole from my bed
To go back to the one
Who possesses your soul
And I back to the life that I dread.

So I ran like the wind to the water
Please don't leave me again I cried
And I threw bitter tears at the ocean
But all that came back was the tide


And I will oh I will not forget you
Nor will I ever let you go
I will oh I will not forget you

She does this voice thing that is sort of like the sing-song quality of iambic pentameter poetry. It grates on me. Not a fan of this style. Sort of a slow fade from quiet to louder and back down again for each note. 



You need to hear her live. Her voice is simply incredible. Can't possibly recreate it in a recording.

An easily overlooked gem of an album.  Glad to hear this cut here.

I like Sarah McLachlan, but man, but if only her records were not so completely drenched in reverb.

nice hearing something from her earlier days. stands up, i think.
:nodhead: It was sorta cool back in the late 80s when you only heard her on college radio stations and no one knew who she was...and she was like a "best kept secret" in the modern rock world. But I am very happy for her overwhelming success these days!
