Lie with Me - Eric Andersen

Lie with me and be my love just for now

Stay with me all through the night

Be as close to me as you can be

Til morning sets you free

He was just a prisoner

Prisoner of your pain

Whose sentence was to serve you

Let you love again

If you go away

He'll still be singing in his chains

Behind the walls of knowing

There was no such thing as blame

Lie with me and be my love just for now

Stay with me all through the night

Be as close to me as you can be

Til morning sets you free

Deeper than the ocean

Wider than the sea

The loneliness you harbored from

A love that was deceived

How did you ever know

What the answer couldn't be

The dying's almost easier

Than trying to believe again

Lie with me and be my love just for now

Stay with me all through the night

Be as close to me as you can be

Til morning sets you free

Your eyes they are so empty now

So pale in the sun

Your heart it is so weary

From not wanting anyone

With every breath you take

It's for the love that didn't come

Still longing for the day

You thought your life had just begun

Lie with me and be my love just for now

Stay with me all through the night

Be as close to me as you can be

Til morning sets you free
