Let me lay waste with gentle persuasionnLet me lay downnTo sweat in the heatnOn the back of beyond we laugh at all reasonnAnd in the light of it allnThere's no need to retreatnn[Chorus:]nAnd the heat comes downnAnd the heat comes downnAnd hand in handnWe melt in the heatnWe melt in the heatnWe melt in the heatnWe melt in the heatnnSave for the asking fortune favors the bravenLet me take strengthnFrom the child in your eyesnAnd between the lines we dance into the mirrornAnd a grateful embracenLay's in wait for the sun to risenn[Chorus]nnPlease don't take it hard when nI give myself to younAnd love will come easynWhen you deign to swallow my pridenBefore I ever touch your lipsnYou promise the very earth to menAnd tender hearts and broken downnWhen you take me deep insidenn[Chorus]
