Comfort Me

I look into your blue eyes deep pools I had no ideaI know hunted down from coast to coastCircumstance prevailed it was hard on us both.I've run hard, I'm so tired from the chaseSo desperately I'm achingThe waning of the starlightEmbers turn to ash as I fade.And now you're next to meI beg you baby please don't goEnd of the road for meI'll just hold you closeJust hold you closeEnd of the mystery a gift from heaven on this dayYour touch to comfort meJust comfort meYour sheltering soul not a moment too soonYou're a sweet tourniquetFor my soul lies rife with open woundsAnd yes I thought as I closed my eyesI saw phantom apparitions danceAnd are we really safe on our ownOr are they out there watchingRight now I don't want to care at allJust like a silent songJust reach out your hands and take holdTake holdWhen the limit of your painExceeds the mercies of your loveIt's time to cease and release and just flyAnd now you've come to meA sanctuary borne of loveHonest sincerity I'll just hold you closeJust hold you closeIt's in the way you moveA phoenix risen on this dayYour touch to comfort meJust comfort meI disrobe my burdens and I lay them at your feetSo much about this world I'd just as soon they keepTheir faces melt reflections on the windOr are they out there watchingAs time stands still this Christmas Day
