Hold Me

You told me

You’d hold me

Hold me til the mornin’ light

You craved me

You saved me

Saved me from my own foolish blight

You’re gone now

I’m strong now

Strong enough to cry only at night

I see now

It can’t be now

Now that you’re away

And I wish that I could be like the desert

He never seems to cry

I wish that I could be like the ocean

She never needs to ask why

I’m a lonely lady only

Lonely lady only

You told me

You’d hold me

Hold me til the mornin’ light

You craved me

You saved me

Saved me from myself

And I wish that I could be like my father

He always knew what was right

I wish that I could be like my mother

She always tucked me in tight

I’m a lonely lady only

Lonely lady only

You told me

You’d hold me

Hold me til the mornin’ light

You craved me

You saved me

Saved me from own foolish blight.
