You know I won’t request,
I’m sure at least you can attest,
That much is true
But be placed under no doubt,
That underneath I’m crying out,
My love for you,
I do not find it easy to say,
That I might be made of stone my love but this stone’s made of clay,
And I know I do not make it easy to see,
But sometimes all I need is for your loving arms to hold me,
If you only knew,
When you hold me like you do,
You will be my shelter,
You’re my solitude,
I barely understand,
So don’t ask just take my hand,
And we can dream
The way I tend to think,
Cannot be written into ink,
Or so it seems,
You should know that I would never dare,
Grant license to another whom I’d permit to stroke my hair,
And I know I do not make it easy to see,
But sometimes all I need is for your loving arms to hold me,
And if all there ever is is two of us,
I’d only ask you’d stay here at my side,
I’ll do anything you say, you need only lead the way,
Without you I am lost in the swell of the passing tide
