wait a minute baby...
stay with me a while
said you'd give me light
but you never told me about the fire

drowning in the sea of love
where everyone would love to drown
and now its gone
it doesn't matter what for
when you build your house
then call me home

and he was just like a great dark wing
within the wings of a storm
i think i had met my match - he was singing
and undoing and
undoing the laces
undoing the laces

said sarah, you're the poet in my heart
never change, never stop
but now it's gone
it doesn't matter what for
but when you build your house, then call me home

hold on, the night is coming and the starling
flew for days
i'd stay at home at night all the time
i'd go anywhere, anywhere, anywhere
ask me and I'm there yeah ask me
and I'm there because I care

in the sea of love
where everyone would love to drown
but now it is gone
they say it doesn't matter any more
if you build your house then please call me

sarah, you're the poet in my heart
never change,and don't you ever stop, never stop
and now its gone
it doesn't matter any more
when you build your house, i'll come by

ahhh, sarah, ahhh
ahhh, sarah, ahhh
ahhh, sarah, ahhh

all i ever wanted
was to know that you were dreaming
[theres a heartbeat
and it never really died].
