[Verse 1]
I've been watching you for ages
You're like a boat without a mast
Struggling with the tide of destiny
Between the future and the past
[Chorus]
I am the lighthouse
I am the sea
I am the air that you breathe
Gravitate to me
[Verse 2]
Through the ether
And the mists of the mind
You will come to me
To lay by my side
To stroke my hair
To cuddle my flesh
And to quell the torrents
In my subterranean depths
[Verse 3]
This world ain't strong enough
To keep us from each other
For we are kindred spirits
Born to become Earthly lovers
[Chorus]
I am the lighthouse
I am the sea
I am your destiny
Gravitate to me
[Verse 4]
There is something within your voice
Something behind your eyes
Something inside your heart
That is beating in time with mine
[Refrain]
I know you
From a previous incarnation
I know you
From a previous incarnation
I know you
From a previous incarnation
Incarnation
Incarnation
[Outro]
Gravitate to me, gravitate to me
Gravitate to me, gravitate to me
