When you came to me
With your bad dreams
And your fears
Was easy to see
You'd been crying
Seems like everywhere
You turn
Catastrophe it reigns
But who really profits from
The dying
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
When you kissed my lips
With my mouth
So full of questions
My worried mind
That you quiet
Place your hands on my face
Close my eyes and say
Love is a poor man's food
With no proper side
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
And I could hold you
In my arms
I could hold you forever
So now we see how it is
This fist begets the spear
Weapons of war
Symptoms of madness
Don't let your eyes
Refuse to see
Don't let your ears
Refuse to hear
You ain't never going to shake
This sense of sadness
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold on forever
And I could hold you
In my arms
I could hold on forever
