Don't Put Your Arms Around Me

Take off your boots and walk with me
and watch the sun light up the sea
and help my mind align these feet
(but) don’t put your arms around me
Come yellow woods and porous stones
come tender tales and velvet tones
we can share it all when we’re alone
(but) don’t put your arms around me
don’t expect these hands to fold
And here there’s peace and quiet sun
and here your words come out strong
and though your heart is on the run:
Don’t put your arms around me
don’t put your arms around me
don’t put your arms around me
'cause you need comfort
I need love
