When all are dizzy and happy from too much wine 

I leave the party behind 

To be alone with my thoughts and this spinning mind 

Through this cold night 

But there she stands 



And she walks like you 

And she smiles almost like you 

A child of the wild just like you 

Yes. 



For a second I think I get a glimpse 

Of the real her, behind 

She's warm and fragile 

With smiles that reach to her eyes 

But just this moment, 

A change so sublime 



If she looked me deep into my eyes 

And softly asked me too 

I'd be in her bed and in her flesh 

And waste a life I knew 



So I hold my breath and close my eyes 

And focus on the wine 

Let this trembling moment pass us by 

So I could say goodnight 



But then, an impulse 

I almost touched her face 

Before I pulled back my hand 

And we get nervous 

We laugh and she spills her wine 

Both so awkward, for what's on our mind 



And she talks like you 

And she smells almost like you 

A child of the wild just like you 

But she's not all you 

Even strives not to be you 

Just like every sister would do 



And perhaps it's the want 

Of you in her eyes 

But I want her this one single time 

...Just this one time 



If she looked me deep into my eyes 

And softly asked me too 

I'd be in her bed and in her flesh 

And waste a life I knew 



So I hold my breath and close my eyes 

And focus on the wine 

Let this trembling moment pass us by 

So I could say goodnight 



If I'd looked into her eyes 

And softly asked her too 

She would give herself and give her flesh 

And waste a life she knew 



So we hold our breath, and close our eyes 

And take a sip of wine 

But this thirst has emptied every glass 

And we should say goodnight 



...God, help me say goodnight.
