1978 - Sometimes when we touch 7 Inch Single
"Sometimes When We Touch" is a single from Tina Turner's album "Rough".
"Sometimes When We Touch" is a 1977 ballad written by Dan Hill (lyrics) and Barry Mann (music) for the album "Longer Fuse". It is a soft rock song, moving. It is about a woman who talks about her man, whom she both loves and hates.
Tina Turner performed the song several times, for instance in the concert with Tom Jones at the Warner Theatre in 1979 and it is also on the "Live on the Road" DVD.
The B-side is "Earthquake & Hurricane". Originally from Willie Dixon's album "Mighty Eartquake & Hurricane".
The music in Tina's version seems to contradict the lyrics of the song. The music is easygoing as if it is a normal pop song, but when you listen to the lyrics, it is all about wanted to be saved from earthquakes and hurricanes.
Track Listing
"Sometimes When We Touch"
Album: Rough (originally from Dan Hill) - 1978
You ask me if I love you
And I choke on my reply
I'd rather hurt you honestly
Than mislead you with a lie
And who am I to judge you
On what you say or do?
I'm only just beginning to see the real you
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
'Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
Romance and all its strategy
Leaves me battling with my pride
But through the insecurity
Some tenderness survives
I'm just another writer
Still trapped within my truth
A hesitant prize fighter
Still trapped within my youth
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides
At times I'd like to break you
And drive you to your knees
At times I'd like to break through
And hold you endlessly
At times I understand you
And I see how hard you've tried
I've watched while love commands you
And I've watched love pass you by
At times I think we're drifters
Still searching for a friend
A brother or a sister
But then the passion flares again
And sometimes when we touch
The honesty's too much
And I have to close my eyes and hide
I wanna hold you til I die
Til we both break down and cry
I wanna hold you till the fear in me subsides

Hurricane
Hurricane
Hurricane
Hurricane
Mighty earthquake & hurricane
Mighty earthquake & hurricane
The earth cracked open
And was breathing fire
Everybody’s running
None was ready to die
Some going crazy
Some insane
Saying save me from this hurricane
Hurricane
Hurricane
Hurricane
Hurricane
Mighty earthquake & hurricane
Mighty earthquake & hurricane
Mighty earthquake & hurricane
Mighty earthquake & hurricane
People start scrambling
On the run
They were a hit
With a atom bomb
Some lay cripple
Some lay lame
But just save me from this hurricane
