Universe
Slade · The Very Best Of Slade [2005]
In a place so cold I don't feel
I was there for years, so afraid of fears
I was lost and I was the curse
Oh won't you be my universe
Oh yeah
I can hear the sound, I can hear it loud
Of the beat before time was dawned
Through the fire and rain I can feel your pain
Won't you be the last like the first
Oh won't you be my universe
How much have I traveled
How much have I seen
Is this reality or a broken dream, Ohhh
Break
Through raging storm won't you keep me warm
I'm the hunger, I am the thirst
Oh won't you be my universe
