The One You Run To

The elms that once gave shelter

Stood silent as you prayed

As the walls came down

The truths were found

Your sins lay in the way

Let me be the one you run to

And hold through the night

All the pawns bore gifts and promise

With tales of a coming day

Neath that vale of charm and wonder

Was the hand that took away

Let me be the one you run to

And hold through the night

The guiding light that your father held

All gone with the storms of time

Are you fading with those memories

Now the pearls have lost their shine

Let me be the one you run to

And hold through the night

Well they fit those heals with the shackles on

Then lead your steps astray

How that fairied world of a little girl

Seems a distant star away

Let me be the one you run to

And hold through the night

Is there strength in your heart to carry

One last dream beyond these bars

There's a soul of light there buried

Neath the sheets and one night scars

Let me be the one you run to

And hold through the night

Let me be the one you run to

And hold through the night
