Oh My Dear
I called you up, you were in bed,Could barely make out the words that you saidBut you wanted to see me instead,So I got dressedAnd I stepped out into the snow,And walked for a mile or soFelt the rush of blood come from the cold in my chest
Well, you finally came to the door,And we talked for an hour or moreUntil I asked if you would stay up 'til four,And you said, "That's fine."But you said, "There's something I have to say,And I can't because I'm just so afraid."And so I held you as you started to shake that night
Oh, my dear, I'll wait for youGrace tonight will pull us throughUntil the tears have left your eyesUntil the fears can sleep at nightUntil the demons that you're scared of disappear insideUntil this guilt begins to crackAnd the weight falls from your backOh, my dear, I'll keep you in my arms tonight
You slowly lifted your head from your handsYou said, "I just don't think that you'll understand.You'll never look at me that way againIf you knew what I did."
And so your tears fell and melted the snowYou told me secrets nobody had knownBut I never loved you more, even thoughNow I knew what you did
Oh, my dear, I'll wait for youAnd grace tonight will pull us throughOh, my dear, I'll wait for youAnd grace tonight will pull us throughUntil the tears have left your eyesUntil the fears can sleep at nightUntil the demons that you're scared of disappear insideUntil this guilt begins to crackAnd the weight falls from your backOh, my dear, I'll keep you in my arms tonight
Until the tears have left your eyesUntil the fears can sleep at nightUntil the demons that you're scared of disappear insideUntil this guilt begins to crackAnd the weight falls from your backOh, my dear, I'll keep you in my arms tonightI'll keep you in my arms tonight
