                           The Roof

                           It wasn't raining yet
                           But it was definitely a little misty on
                           That warm November night
                           And my heart was pounding
                           My inner voice resounding
                           Begging me to turn away
                           But I just had to see your face
                           To feel alive
                           And then you casually walked in the room
                           And I was twisted in the web
                           Of my desire for you
                           (And I was twisted)
                           My apprehension blew away
                           I only wanted you
                           To taste my sadness
                           As you kissed me in the dark

                           Chorus:
                           Everytime I feel the need
                           I envision you caressing me
                           And go back in time
                           To relieve the splendor of you and I
                           On the rooftop that rainy night

                           And so we finished the Moet and
                           I started feeling liberated
                           And I surrendered as you took me
                           In your arms
                           I was so caught up in the moment
                           I couldn't bear to let you go yet
                           So I threw caution to the wind
                           And started listening to my longing heart
                           And then you softly pressed your lips to mine
                           And feelings surfaced I'd suppressed
                           For such a long time
                           (And I was lifted)
                           And for a while I forgot
                           The sorrow and the pain
                           And melted with you as we stood
                           There in the rain

                           Chorus

                           Bridge:
                           Last night I dreamed that I
                           Whispered the words I love you
                           And touched you so very
                           Subtly as we were kissing goodbye
                           (Pretty baby - How I'm missing you)

                           Chorus (2x)

                           Everytime I feel the need
                           (Last night I had the strangest dream...)
                           I envision you caressing me
                           (It was actually quite symbolic)
                           And go back in time
                           (As I whispered...That I loved you)
                           To relieve the splendor of you and I
                           (...very subtly)
