Lyrics
Every time I hear the sound of the rain
Beating on my roof again
I want to taste your love
And I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Every time I lift my eyes to the sky
Something in my heart asks why
I want to know the truth
And I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Like the footprints
Disappearing from the sand
I try to catch the thought
It slips right through my hand
And as the darkness
Throws it’s cloak upon the ground
I start to run to you
I’ve got to take you down
I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Every time I feel I’m loosing my way
The power of your love remains
I want to touch your love
An’ I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
Deep
I want to go deep
