These Living Arms

So a crowd, he gathered 'round us
I'm pining one last kiss
I'm struggling with this lifeline
In the shadow of this bliss
Patience, my love, patience, my love, it'll all be alright

Ain't it funny how the fates work?
I feel cheated by the turn
Still this love it hovers over us
And the lessons that we've learned
Patience, my love, patience, my love

With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And I fade from memory and move on

We were lost inside a wasteland
Of fools groping for the gold
I wonder if they'll think of us
While they're still searching for their souls
Patience, my love, patience, my love

With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And I fade from memory and move on

May nothing harm you
I'm still inside you
With my wings around you

So never put it out my love
The spirit is the flame that burns within
Hold on to it
And it'll all work out fine

Sleep now is descending like a dream
Still I'm shaking from the softness of your skin
Hold on to me, love and it'll all be alright

With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And I fade from memory and move on

May nothing harm you
I'm still inside you
With my wings around you

With your arms around me
You're singing softly
And I fade from memory and move on

Sweet lover, go on
Sweet lover go on
My love be strong
