I want to know

from one: walk with me by Simon Dwight

/

about

This song was written in or around 2007, towards the start of the year.

It plays with rhymes, referencing some of my favourite artists and their songs, as well as my own work. The chord structure and sequence was a complete departure from anything I had written and recorded before.

It also asks the ultimate question.

lyrics

I want to know

I wait for you
In stillness here
I seek your face
In silence here

I want to know
What you want from me
I want to show
All the love in me
I want to see what you see in this soul

The Beatles sang
'Love me do' and 'She loves you'
And Elvis sang
'Suspicious Minds' and 'Heartbreak Hotel'
And chords will ring
Butterflies will flutterby and Byrds will sing
And I will sing
'Shine', 'Live Big' and 'Movin' On'
'Til Kingdom Come', 'Hard Rain will fall'
'Redemption Song' and 'Get it On'

And time will pass
And seasons come
And wind will blow
And storms will rage
But then ther's calm
And peace and stillness everywhere
And love and laughter
Once more will start
(And people will stop and stare)

And earth will burn
And Kingdoms rise
And Kingdoms fall
And Earth will turn
And God looks down
And sees man's heart
And gives his Son
And a brand new start

Water will flow
Down mountainside
Fresh stream of water
Fall and twist and slide
And wet my lips
And quench my thirst
And how I long
For eyes that see
And understand your mystery
Yes, eyes that see
And understand your mystery

I love your scent
I love your touch
I kiss your lips
I can't get enough
I wash your face
In warm clean water
I speak to you
And you listen
