Bleed Into the Night

Hold me close hold me safe

Hold me whole for I might break

Into pieces or into tears

That flow out into the night it calls me my dear

I was born to the river in its flood

Washed ashore marooned into your arms

Can your hands feel in the yearning of my blood

That same tireless river that still holds out in my heart

But i won't bleed into the night

So long as you hold me together in your eyes

So hold your breath long as the memory

Of these beholden words i meant so much to mean

Like my name grown heavy with all i became

It weighs round my neck and you hold the chain

And i can't bleed into the night

So long as you hold me together in your eyes

I can't bleed out in the night

So long as you hold me together in your eyes

You won't let me bleed...

And i can't bleed into the night

So long as you hold me together in your eyes

And i can't bleed out in the night

So long as you hold me...
