Familiar's Promise

I can feel your heart burning with tears that you hide

I will walk without turning, ever close by your side

I will guard you at night and alert you to harm

Then will snuggle up tight, just to keep us both warm

Lay your hand on my head as the firelight dies

And believe what I've said, for this love never lies

I'll inspire you to laugh, I'll release you to cry

I'm the strong silent half of what we unify

I will give you my heart, if you give me your hand

And it's never apart, whilst beside you, I stand

Lay your hand on my head as the firelight dies

And believe what I've said, for this love never lies

If it's courage you seek, I am yours to command

I don't outwardly speak, but I still understand

Through your joy and your strife, I'll attempt any task

I will lay down my life, all you need to do is ask

Lay your hand on my head as the firelight dies

And believe what I've said, for this love never lies

Lay your hand on my head as the firelight dies

And believe what I've said, for this love never lies
