As I Hold You

Far-flung and sleeping
The friends I relied on
Sleeping like sailors
Adrift and apart
Loving is parting
It’s sooner or later
There’s always eternity
Here in my heart
Will you hold me
Safe inside you
As I hold you
Will you keep
A memory burning
As I keep you
Nothing will end if
I hold you forever
In the cage inside me
A trembling bird
Love will amaze you
Amaze you forever
The strength of a dream
The strength of a word
Will you hold me
Safe inside you
As I hold you
Will you keep
A memory burning
As I keep you
