I called you up, you were in bed Could barely make out the words that you said But you wanted to see me instead So I got dressed And I stepped out into the snow And walked for a mile or so Felt the rush of blood come from the cold, in my chest
Well you finally came to the door And we talked for an hour or more Until I asked if you would stay up till four You said “that’s fine” But you said “there’s something I have to say And I can’t because I’m just so afraid” And so I held you as you started to shake, that night
Oh my dear I will wait for you Grace tonight, will pull us through Until the tears have left your eyes Until the fear can sleep at night Until the demons that you’re scared of, disappear inside Until this guilt begins to crack And the weight falls from your back Oh my dear I’ll keep you in my arms tonight
You slowly lifted your head from your hands You said “I just don’t think that you’ll understand You’ll never look at me that way again, if you knew what I did” And so your tears fell and melted the snow You told me secrets nobody had known Oh, but I never loved you more even though now I knew what you did
Oh my dear I will wait for you And grace tonight, will pull us through Yeah, oh my dear, I will wait for you And grace tonight will pull us through Until the tears have left your eyes Until the fears can sleep at night Until the demons that you’re scared of, disappear inside Until this guilt begins to crack And the weight falls from your back Oh my dear I’ll keep you in my arms...
Till the tears have left your eyes Until the fears can sleep at night Until the demons that you’re scared of, have disappeared inside Until this guilt begins to crack And the weight falls from your back Well, oh my dear I’ll keep you in my arms tonight I'll keep you in my arms tonight
