Here I Am

She sat down on the nightstand
A glass of wine and that book in her hand
She said you can have me if you know
What this says about other men

I said they are hell
But you know, who's to tell?
With a little love perhaps we can mend
Before the end

And she smiled and looked away
Said my clothes can wait for another day

Here I am
Come take my hand
Just go slow
'Cause there's nowhere to go
But here

We're all alone on the edge of a night
That will swallow this earth and all its life
Just hold my hand
And understand

Asleep now on my pillow
Her hair flows into tomorrow
I watch her body flicker
As night draws down

I sigh and turn away
Hoping you are here to stay

Here I am
Just one man
Girl don't go
The time's running clear
With you here

We're all alone on the edge of a night
That will swallow this earth and all its life
Just hold my hand
And understand

Here I am
Just one man
Girl don't go
The time's running clear
With you here
