Buckwheat Zydeco - Back In Your Arms lyrics
Artist: Buckwheat Zydeco
album: Lay Your Burden Down
In my dream, our love was lost
I lived by luck and fate
I carried you inside of me
And prayed it wouldn't be too late
Now I'm standing on this empty road
Where nothing moves but the wind
And, honey, I just wanna be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Oh, once I was your treasure
Saw your face in every star
These promises we made at night
Oh, that's all they are
Unless we fill them with faith and love
They're empty as the wind
And, honey, I just wanna be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
You came to me with love and kindness
But all of my life, I'm a prisoner of my own blindness
I met you with indifference
Oh, and I don't know why
Now I wake from my dream
I wake from my dream to this world
Where all is shadow and darkness
And above me, a dark sky unfurls
And all the love I've thrown away and lost
I'm longing for again
Now, darling, I just wanna be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
...
I lived by luck and fate
I carried you inside of me
And prayed it wouldn't be too late
Now I'm standing on this empty road
Where nothing moves but the wind
And, honey, I just wanna be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Oh, once I was your treasure
Saw your face in every star
These promises we made at night
Oh, that's all they are
Unless we fill them with faith and love
They're empty as the wind
And, honey, I just wanna be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
You came to me with love and kindness
But all of my life, I'm a prisoner of my own blindness
I met you with indifference
Oh, and I don't know why
Now I wake from my dream
I wake from my dream to this world
Where all is shadow and darkness
And above me, a dark sky unfurls
And all the love I've thrown away and lost
I'm longing for again
Now, darling, I just wanna be
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
