Eric Andersen - Lie With Me lyrics

So 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 When you saw me I was broken I was scattered in the dust Like the way you feel sometimes When you feel too much You put your hands around my face Like a circle 'round the sun When I thought that it was finished It had only just begun So 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, again You shine across the morning As I turn to face the east You told me how to give away Things never meant to keep Your love is rolling like a wave That breaks right over me One hand can hold the ocean But will never stop the sea So 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 skin it looks so golden Standing naked in the sun Your soul it feels so holy As close as the earth can come A wave can cut a stone to sand And the wind can break your bones I'm wondering how you're doing now When you are alone So 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, once again, once again 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 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 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
