Poe’s “Fingertips”

Your fingertips… Your fingertips…

Sometimes I feel it burning
That deep and primal yearning
I feel it burn, burn, burning
I try to live without it
But then I think about
Those fingertips, those fingertips, those fingertips
Anyone will do, anyone will do… Could be you…

It’s in the way they move and
They catch that simple groove and
They tell a story all their own
About the human heart alone
I try to get a grip but I find I always slip
On fingertips, those fingertips, those fingertips
Anyone will do, anyone will do… Could be you…

Sometimes I get so lonely
The time, it passes slowly
So, so, so slowly
I know I’m just a fool cuz
They’re writing all the rules
Those fingertips, those fingertips, those fingertips
Anyone will do, anyone will do… Could be you…

Whoever, whoever you are… I’ve got my light on…
Whenever, whenever you can… I’ll be there, I swear…

I swear…
Anyone will do… Could be you…
Anyone… Anyone will do… Could be you…
Anyone will do… Anyone will do… Could be you…

Whoever, whoever you are… I’ve got my light on…
Whenever, wherever you can… I’ll be there, I swear…

I swear… Let it be me, let me be your love…
