Soften the Blow

Setting sun to close the new day

Bring your moon, bring your moon

And if you rise, I'll hold the ladder

To help you rise, I'll help you rise

And if you fall, I'll lay myself down

To soften the blow, soften the blow

I will hold you once again, I will hold you once again

The winds, they blow southeast now

Cool things down, cool things down

And if you rise, I will hold the ladder

To help you rise, I'll help you rise

And if you fall, I'll lay myself down

To soften the blow, soften the blow

I will hold you once again, I will hold you once again

The candle burns to the right now

And the wax it melts slowly down

And if you rise, I will hold the ladder

To help you rise, I'll help you rise

And if you fall, I will lay myself down

To soften the blow, soften the blow

I will hold you once again, I will hold you once again

There be my shelter in your arms

Away
