Take Me Higher

K. Williams-Mann/Th. Mann
Thom came up with this beautiful, sexy guitar lick for the verses and we both loved it. But we didn't want it to sound too funky, so Thom wrote the jazzy chorus. I was so inspired. Driving to a gig one evening, to a small town outside of Atlanta, I sat in the back of the van and began writing lyrics. It was a cold winter night and the sunset was unbelieveable with brillliant shades of orange and red and pink. I knew that had to be a part of the song. And the rest of it? Well, I guess I was just feeling a little naughty.

********************
Here we are now just me and you
Well I'm feeling lonely and a little bit blue
Tonight we can be lovers, tomorrow friends
But I won't mind if this temptation never ends
(Chorus)
A winter chill is in the air
And the sky is on fire
Yeah, I think this could be the night
For you to take me higher
You know you can never hide from the truth
So go ahead and take a bite of this forbidden fruit
It may not be right, but it can't be wrong
When the desire runs so deep and strong
(Chorus)
A winter chill is in the air
And the sky is on fire
Yeah I think the time is right
For you to take me higher
Higher
Don't consider what tomorrow may bring
Just fly with me when I spread my wings
Stay the night and we'll take it real slow
There's no turning back so just let go
(Chorus)
A winter chill is in the air
And I am on fire
Yeah, this is the night
For you to take me higher
Come on and take me higher
Take me higher
Higher
