When you're close to me
You wrap me in your arms
And sing so sweetly to me
But then you're gone again
And I just can't afford this life
To be without you
you let the light shine through my darkest days
up through the grey and clouds all fly away
Feel you dance around slowly stoke the fire that is my tired mind
Taking control of what was once mine and mine alone to command
You let the light shine through my darkest days
Up through the grey and clouds all fly away
Oh when you're gone my thoughts are cold and grey
I'm left to face my darkest days
At first I lose enough but now it seems I need you more and more
I'll beg and bow and steal to keep you near and keep my darkest days at bay
You wrap me in your arms
And sing so sweetly to me
But then you're gone again
And I just can't afford this life
To be without you
you let the light shine through my darkest days
up through the grey and clouds all fly away
Feel you dance around slowly stoke the fire that is my tired mind
Taking control of what was once mine and mine alone to command
You let the light shine through my darkest days
Up through the grey and clouds all fly away
Oh when you're gone my thoughts are cold and grey
I'm left to face my darkest days
At first I lose enough but now it seems I need you more and more
I'll beg and bow and steal to keep you near and keep my darkest days at bay
