Blue Room In Venice

Richard Wright

I can see you through a pool of darkness

I stretch out my hand to reach you

I know you are there

So please look at me

How I've missed you

How I've missed love

My hand is here



If you still know me

Then touch my fingertips



I see the waters move above your face

I feel your naked hand

Please don't let it go again



Your sacrifice

That meant so much

Left us with no place to stand

Please let me touch

And let me near

Let me near
