Hold on to me
With your strong arm
With your worshipful eyes
As the organ drones on
I hold your arm tight
Something to believe in again

Hold on to me
With your strong arm
With your worshipful eyes
As the organ drones on
I hold your arm tight
Something to believe in again
I plunge my hands
Into the warm dirt
As I reach heavenward
Praying for a good crop this year
I have been unlucky so far
This year I am relentless
This will be my year
This love
It can repair itself
Before I lose myself
Lost in you
This life
I made it all with you
I keep pushing through
This love for you
She said. you try
You try moving something heavy
Like rocks clanging
Inside you
Searching for help
From this nightmare
For the one person
Who will help
The one person who will say
It's okay
I am here now
He said
You only get what you give
And in your eyes
You give me the world
Show me the way to live
Take me back to the moment
I first looked in your eyes
What a nice surprise
You left me hypnotized
Take me back to the moment
When you first walked away
I couldn't make you stay
You just walked away
Any would love them both
Hear this house so whole
Hear laugh window ache
Other raw frantic garden dance
None are sad music book
Heavy art rock spirit chant
Fresh breathtaking valley
Beside dead imperfect promise
Why approach the girl
And appear faster
The absurd instant
Our valley sleep pattern
You are my rose
Delicate and beautiful
Made mystical with thorns
Bringing tears to my eyes
Show me how to love you
And I shall do the same
Scared again
I'm scared again
Scared again of you
With your steel-blue eyes
With some kind of madness
Beginning to seep out from edges
My life is only worth this moment
This is going to take a long time
Knowing what's mine
As you slam the door
We were laughing only yesterday
Seems like so far away
But I want more
All I wanted was a lucky day
All I wanted was so far away
All I ever want to do
Is love you
Autumn leaves, crackling leaves
Every year the same yet no on believes
In the passage of time Mother Nature grieves
For her young son growing as nature perceives
Don't look at me Don't break me This ghost of a person You will grow to hate me Disappear from my life Stab me with your knife And...
