Lie with Me - Eric Andersen
Lie with me and be my love just for now
Stay with me all through the night
Be as close to me as you can be
Til morning sets you free
He was just a prisoner
Prisoner of your pain
Whose sentence was to serve you
Let you love again
If you go away
He'll still be singing in his chains
Behind the walls of knowing
There was no such thing as blame
Lie with me and be my love just for now
Stay with me all through the night
Be as close to me as you can be
Til morning sets you free
Deeper than the ocean
Wider than the sea
The loneliness you harbored from
A love that was deceived
How did you ever know
What the answer couldn't be
The dying's almost easier
Than trying to believe again
Lie with me and be my love just for now
Stay with me all through the night
Be as close to me as you can be
Til morning sets you free
Your eyes they are so empty now
So pale in the sun
Your heart it is so weary
From not wanting anyone
With every breath you take
It's for the love that didn't come
Still longing for the day
You thought your life had just begun
Lie with me and be my love just for now
Stay with me all through the night
Be as close to me as you can be
Til morning sets you free
