Wipe the make-up from your face 
Tie your hair and gently fall from grace 
Until I come again 
Take the disaffected life 
Men who ran the company ran your life 
You could have been his wife 

I wanna love you but my hands are tied 
I wanna stay here but I've been denied 
Lets watch the clock until the morning sun does rise 

Wipe the sweat from off your brow 
All that you believe is here and now 
You could have had more doubt 

Wipe the shadow from your eyes 
Rest your daughter while your mother cries 
You could have let him fly 

I wanna hold you but my hands are tied 
I wanna stay here but I've been denied 
I wanna lie here 'til we've killed this bitter doubt 

I wanna hold you but my hands are tied 
I wanna stay here but I've been denied 
Lets watch the clock until the morning sun does rise 

I wanna hold you but my hands are tied 
I wanna sleep here but I've been denied 
I wanna stay here 'til we've killed this bitter doubt 

I wanna hold you but my hands are tied 
I wanna sleep here but I've been denied 
Lets watch the clock until the morning sun comes out
