Babe 02:48
Oh don't you know the light you behold reaches for more than what you've been told Oh what a waste of your family traits It's such a shame nothing came of your age If I could erase every ounce of the pain That runs through your veins I'd leave it no trace, babe Oh don't you know that you broke the mold Your treasure was gold with the beauty it holds I know there's no cure of this I am sure But for what it's worth I will always be yours And if there's a place on this side of grace Where souls must remain before they can change And hearts have to break before they gain strength Well we'll just have to wait, babe We'll just have to wait Til our dying day

It happens all the time I try to make you mine But you'll never cross that line when I advance you just decline It drives me crazy in my mind It happens every night I get the urge to hold you tight To feel our bodies intertwine so come on in and dim the lights And ease the troubles in my mind It happens every time I start thinking I'll be fine Then I look into your eyes there's something there I can't deny And I just can't say goodbye cus I need you in my life No matter how hard I try it just tears me up inside Cus you're what's only in my mind

Well I do declare if you don't come home soon I'll be frozen half to death yes I'm afraid this much is true The winter's bearing down and the air is turning cold When the snow touches the ground will you be here to hold? I wrote a dozen letters and received a dozen more But the words that fill the pages ain't like you at my door The days just get so lonesome and the house just seems so bare I reach out in my sleep but all I'm grabbing is the air I wrap myself in blankets pretend I'm lying here with you But my body's getting cold cus baby Only your arms will do I sit out in the yard watch the flowers start to bloom And I'm wondering where you are wondering where you're headed to The road must get so lonesome and the drive must feel so long All these miles in-between us babe they're doing us so wrong Spring is in the air baby birds all start to sing Of the wedding ring you'll bring to me and all our silly sacred things I've wished a dozen wishes and I've felt you in my dreams But sleeping in this heat has just been draining all my strength Now my body's feeling weaker and I lack the will to move I need a little help and darling Only your arms will do
