The darkness outside would eat me alive
were it but for a shard of moonlight
I'm struggling to keep my stride
as tears blind my eyes
Well, if you have the words to still my heart, then speak them
If you bring the touch to heal my hurt, then hold me
If you just came to spend some time, stare into my eyes and delve deep inside like you know me
Come and show me
This perilous road feels nothing like home,
and nothing I have is my own
I look around, no light, no sound
Am I really this alone?
If you have the words to still my heart, then speak them
If you bring the touch to heal my hurt, then hold me
If you just came to spend some time, stare into my eyes and delve deep inside like you know me
I see the light in your sweet eyes
Hold me and never let me go
You have the touch
You have the words
You just came to spend some time, stare into my eyes,
Bring me back to life
