English Version (Sanctuary)
I need more affection than you know

In you and I there's a new land

Angels in flight

I need more affection than you know

A sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah

Where fears and lies melt away

Music will tie

I need more affection than you know

What's left of me, what's left of me now

I watch you

Fast asleep

All I fear means nothing

In you and I there's a new land

Angels in flight

I need more affection than you know

A sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah

Where fears and lies melt away

Music will tie

I need more affection than you know

What's left of me, what's left of me

So many ups and downs

My heart's a battleground

I need true emotions

I need more affection than you know

I need true emotions

You show me how to see

That nothing is whole

And nothing is broken

In you and I there's a new land

Angels in flight

I need more affection than you know

A sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah

Where fears and lies melt away

Music will tie

I need more affection than you know

What's left of me, what's left of me now

My fears, my lies

Melt away

I need more affection than you know
