Bleed Into the Night

Hold me close hold me safe
Hold me whole for I might break
Into pieces or into tears
That flow out into the night it calls me my dear

I was born to the river in its flood
Washed ashore marooned into your arms
Can your hands feel in the yearning of my blood
That same tireless river that still holds out in my heart

But i won't bleed into the night
So long as you hold me together in your eyes

So hold your breath long as the memory
Of these beholden words i meant so much to mean
Like my name grown heavy with all i became
It weighs round my neck and you hold the chain

And i can't bleed into the night
So long as you hold me together in your eyes

I can't bleed out in the night
So long as you hold me together in your eyes

You won't let me bleed...

And i can't bleed into the night
So long as you hold me together in your eyes

And i can't bleed out in the night
So long as you hold me...
