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
And 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 fadeAnd 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 meYour 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
So when the limit of your pain exceeds the mercies of your love
It's time to just cease and release and just flyAnd now you 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
