Hold me in your arms tonight.

Take away the nightmares of that fight.

Where I screamed for them to stop

While they drove me into the dark.

Hold me in your arms tonight.

Shield me from the power of light

That can break away the putrid night.

Don't you long to be apart?

Lift me with your arms this once.

Carry me over the ice

Of my melting heart that is sinking now

As I try desperately not to question how.

Carve yourself into my heart.

Never do I want to be apart

From you and your warmest touch

Forever and always as we sit on that branch.

Let our feathers fall away.

Naked in the summer's day.

Desperate for the tender word,

That will strike my broken heart's cord.

As we are together at last,

We can discard the horrid past.

You have never given up,

So, tonight, I'll reward you by closing the gap.
