Píseň: When The Body Speaks

Interpret:
Depeche Mode
Album:
Exciter
To the soul's desires
The body listens
What the flesh requires
Keeps the heart imprisoned


What the spirit seeks
The mind will follow
When the body speaks
All else is hollow


I'm just an angel
Driving blindly
Through this world


I'm just a slave here
At the mercy
Of a girl


Oh I need your tenderness
Oh I need your touch
Oh I dream of one caress
Oh I pray too much


To the soul's desires
The body listens
What the flesh requires
Keeps the heart imprisoned


What the spirit seeks
The mind will follow
When the body speaks
All else is hollow


You keep me waiting
For the promise
That is mine


Please stop debating
Please stop wasting
Your time


Oh I need your tenderness
Oh I need your touch
Oh I dream of one caress
Oh I pray too much
