Madness - Theatre of the Absurd presents C'est La Vie

Hour of Need

I just can't sleep
Will it ever be light?
The nights dragged on so long
Hold my hand lightly, dear
I fear there's something wrong

And it's cold and I'm lonely
I want to rest my head
Oh, hold, hold me gently
And lead me to my bed

This feeling of uncertainty
Just don't know where to go
Serenity's lost and out of reach
The night is cold as snow

So be my protector
In this my hour of need
Bring to me some comfort
Bring to me some ease
Oh, so, hold me so closely
Hold me, oh-so near
And let nothing come between us
Burn away my fear (yeah)

'Cause it's cold, and I'm lonely
I want to rest my head
Oh, hold, hold me gently
And lead me to my bed

Just one touch
Just one moment
Just one kind word whispered in my ear
So captivating, circulating
Permeating, illuminating (illuminating, illuminating)

So be my protector
In this my hour of need
Bring to me some comfort
Bring to me some ease
Hold me, oh-so closely
Hold me, oh-so near
Let nothing come between us
Burn away my fear
