I heard you were here then you disappeared last night
When they killed the lights
Words we didn't say
Your eyes that took us down two more
And we were ready for
You came up behind me, grabbed my wrists in the dark
And said 'don't look at what you can't see'

Now all night
All night
I've been looking for you all night
All night
All night
I've been looking for you all night

Doesn't matter what I tell myself
The flame is small
But it burns it all
Sleepless questions and some sly suggestions
I could fly if I could only fall
I've been wanting to touch you since we met
You don't give a girl a chance to forget

And all night
All night
I've been looking for you all night
All night
All night
I've been looking for you all night

No straight lines
When love rewinds
Out in the night
Well you took the light
You're all around but I haven't found you
You're coming in
Right through my skin
Oh comrade, what do you need?
Where will all this trouble lead?

All night
All night
I've been looking for you all night
All night
All night
I've been looking for you all night
All night
All night
I've been looking for you all night
All night
All night
I've been looking for you all night

Wish she would find him and he tells her to shut up.

Dunno... She sounds like a drunk female stalker with a one man band tagging along.

Hmm...this is the flattest distribution of ratings that I've seen for a song on RP.

I checked out Wikipedia and IMDB, and they say they're still a couple.

Reminds me of a story about The James Last Orchestra.. Q. What's the difference between a reindeer & the James Last orchestra? A. A reindeer's got the horns at the front and the asshole at the back...

Perhaps the most annoying song played on RP. I turn down the volume whenever it comes on. I beg you, please do not play it anymore.

It's round and reflective with lots of microscopic grooves and a hole in the middle. Oh, and the music on it's encoded in pits of 1's and 0's...and sounds really, really good. Like this song. (sorry, I just re-watched Airplane for the millionth time...)

He's the one with the mad hits, right? Sorry.

I think the song title is how long it feels when you're listening to it. Interminable.

I saw her in Dallas last year and she was fantastic. I can't wait to see her again, allegedly later this year.

I bought it and I like it. If you like Sam, you will probably like the album. However if it makes you insert emoticons with hammers, you shouldn't buy it. I think she's a genius. There are a couple of arrangements that feature the same instrumentation as this song, but there is a great variety of wonderful material on it. I'd say the album is 4 out of 5 stars. Also, if you like her, buy Martinis and Bikinis--about 10 years old by now, but still a good addition to any collection.
