|
I look into your blue eyes deep pools I had no idea |
|
I know hunted down from coast to coast |
|
Circumstance prevailed it was hard on us both |
|
I've run hard I'm so tired from the chase |
|
So desperately I'm aching |
|
The waning of the starlight |
|
Embers turn to ash as I fade |
|
And now you're next to me |
|
I beg you baby please don't go |
|
End of the road for me |
|
I'll just hold you close |
|
Just hold you close |
|
End of the mystery a gift from heaven on this day |
|
Your touch to comfort me |
|
Just comfort me |
|
Your sheltering soul not a moment too soon |
|
You're a sweet tourniquet |
|
For my soul lies rife with open wounds |
|
And yes I thought as I closed my eyes |
|
I saw phantom apparitions dance |
|
And are we really safe and on our own |
|
Or are they out there watching |
|
Right now I don't want to care at all |
|
Just like a silent song |
|
Just reach out your hands and take hold |
|
Take hold |
|
When the limit of your pain |
|
Exceeds the mercies of your love |
|
It's time to cease and release and just fly |
|
And now you've come to me |
|
a sanctuary borne of love |
|
Honest sincerity I'll just hold you close |
|
Just hold you close |
|
It's in the way you move |
|
A phoenix risen on this day |
|
Your touch to comfort me |
|
Just comfort me |
|
I disrobe my burdens and lay them at your feet |
|
So much about this world I'd just as soon they keep |
|
Their faces melt reflections on the wind |
|
Or are they out there watching |
|
As time stands still this Christmas day |
