When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see that you'd been crying
Seems like everywhere you turn, catastrophe it reigns
But who really profits from the dyingI could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you foreverWhen you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions
It's my worried mind that you quiet
Place your hands on my face, close my eyes and say
Love is a poor man's food, don't prophesizeI could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you foreverSo now we see how it is, this fist begets the spear
Weapons of war, symptoms of madness
Don't let your eyes refuse to see, don't let your ears refuse to hear
Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadnessI could hold you in my arms
I could hold on forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold forever
