lyrics

Verse 1
Are you listening and if anybody's out there would you kiss me?
On the cheek to prove somehow that I'm still living
Or at least having a good dream

Are you waiting? Or just running through my mind, its fascinating
To watch the glimmer in your eyes as you stand dripping
In the beauty of mankind

Chorus
Where did you come from sweet deer?
Don't run away I won't hunt you
I just needed a muse, someone to fuse into song
And if you kiss me this once
Know it won't fade, it won't leave me
Even when winter comes back I will be warmed by your eyes

Verse 2
So you've found me, and I'll guide you to the center of the forest
If you drink my nectar surely it will fill you
With the sunlight of your dreams

Kiss your forehead with the drew drops of my love
And fill your belly, 'til you felt you've had enough
And I will hold you, 'til your dreams are in your eyes

Musical Interlude

Verse 3
Can you feel me? Is this warmth enough to drain away your worries?
If you let me in I guarantee I'll send you
To the edge of the galaxy

You've been poisoned let me suck it from the wound until you've fed me
'Cause I'm dying to the sound of your soft smile
Or at least having a good dream

Refrain
Where did you come from sweet deer?
Don't run away I won't hunt you
I just needed a muse, someone to fuse into song
And if you kiss me this once
Know it won't fade, it won't leave me
Even when winter comes back I will be warmed by your eyes

I think I'm falling in love
Or at least having a good dream
