In My Own Way

I gathered a mountain

An ocean of teardrops

A castle of goodbyes

To hide myself in

I've waited a lifetime

For someone to find me

For someone to reach me

Somewhere to begin

You're a woman

I can tell by the look in your eyes

We're no strangers

I can tell by the way that you smile

I've painted the sunsets

The dawnings I missed you

The hours I kissed you

To keep my heart alive

It's the heat of your breathing

The way you are whispering

The urge of your wanting

I can't leave you behind

Now you're a woman

I can tell by the look in your eyes

We're no strangers

I can tell by the waves in the night

Whoa-whoa

I don't want to own you

I don't want to lead you

I just want to love you

In my own way
