Missing
Duran Duran · Other Songs - Duran Duran
the blood rushed up to meet the roses in your hair
I thought I saw you smile
but now I don't see you anywhere
Whispering your love song in my ear
how can you touch me
when you're not really here?
Stumbling out I made my way towards the open door
climbing fast the sun poured streaming
laughter down into your empty gaze
where can I find out
now I want to join in your game
I hear you calling
I hear you ... calling calling calling calling
Whispering your love song in my ear
how can you touch me?
how do you really dare?
