Comfort Me

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.

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 fade.

And 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 me

Your 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 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

When the limit of your pain

Exceeds the mercies of your love

It's time to cease and release and just fly

And now you've 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

I disrobe my burdens and I lay them at your feet

So much about this world I'd just as soon they keep

Their faces melt reflections on the wind

Or are they out there watching

As time stands still this Christmas Day
