There's a story i could tell
When the cold wind starts to blow
Like a whisper in the night
From a friend that you know
It says "keep holding on
To my body below
Forsake me not,
Don't ever leave me alone"
There was a time when the sun
Gave it's life to the trees
And the air it smelled sweeter
For the honey and the bees
The ocean rolled salty
And wild and free
The fruit swelled and ripened
And burst with their seeds
But what starts with desire
Can turn into need
The chest gets all tight
Like it's got some disease
What burns in the fire
Just ends up as coals
What floats on the water
Can sink like a stone
Now i want to believe
Every word that you say
I want you to need me
To not go away
Have trust in the nighttime
And faith in the day
To walk on the water
Be never afraid
Can you bear it upon you?
My love has gone under
Above all the stars
Have forgotten to glow
But if you keep holding on to
My body below you
I'll warm you and keep you
From feeling alone
