I look into your blue eyes deep pools I had no idea
I know hunted down from coast to coast
Circ**stance prevailed it was hard on us both.
I`ve run hard, I`m so tired from the chase
So desperately I`m aching
The waning of the starlight
Embers turn to ash as I fade.

And now you`re next to me
I beg you baby please don`t go
End of the road for me
I`ll just hold you close
Just hold you close
End of the mystery a gift from heaven on this day
Your touch to comfort me
Just comfort me

Your sheltering soul not a moment too soon
You`re a sweet tourniquet
For my soul lies rife with open wounds
And yes I thought as I closed my eyes
I saw phantom apparitions dance
And are we really safe on our own
Or are they out there watching
Right now I don`t want to care at all
Just like a silent song
Just reach out your hands and take hold
Take hold
When the limit of your pain
Exceeds the mercies of your love
It`s time to cease and release and just fly

And now you`ve come to me
A sanctuary borne of love
Honest sincerity I`ll just hold you close
Just hold you close
It`s in the way you move
A phoenix risen on this day
Your touch to comfort me
Just comfort me

I disrobe my burdens and I lay them at your feet
So much about this world I`d just as soon they keep
Their faces melt reflections on the wind
Or are they out there watching
As time stands still this Christmas Day
