All of my senses overthrown

By the might of your skin

And the lamplight in your cheek bone

Drawing me further in

No sentence I can speak

For the wonder so unique

Breaking like a wave upon the shore

Mercy me, I'm falling free

Since you opened up the door

See how the sky is made of sapphire

The colours flowing through our hands

The moon is fire in your hair

A million miles beyond what science understands

Smell that mountain heather

I don't remember ever

Feeling like this before

Mercy me, I'm falling free

Since you opened up the door

If every windowpane should shatter

If every wall should fall apart

Well it might hurt a bit - but would it matter?

With this diamond in my heart

No need to nail it to the ground

No need to smother it with sense

Just listen to the rhythm

Of your heart that pounds

And trust it all to chance

Cos we’re standing face to face

With the angel of grace

And don’t it just taste so pure?

Mercy me, I'm falling free

Mercy me, I'm falling free

Mercy me, I'm falling free

Since you opened up the door
