Oh, My Dear (Something's Gone Wrong) (Album Version)

Tenth Avenue North - Oh My Dear

I called you up, you were in bed

Could barely make out the words that you said

But you wanted to see me instead

So I got dressed

And I stepped out into the snow

And walked for a mile or so

Felt the rush of blood come from the cold,

in my chest

Well you finally came to the door

And we talked for an hour or more

Until I asked if you would stay up till four

You said “that’s fine”

But you said “there’s something I have to say

And I can’t because I’m just so afraid”

And so I held you as you started to shake, that night

Oh my dear

I will wait for you

Grace tonight, will pull us through

Until the tears have left your eyes

Until the fear can sleep at night

Until the demons that you’re scared of, disappear inside

Until this guilt begins to crack

And the weight falls from your back

Oh my dear

I’ll keep you in my arms tonight

You slowly lifted your head from your hands

You said “I just don’t think that you’ll understand

You’ll never look at me that way again, if you knew what I did”

And so your tears fell and melted the snow

You told me secrets nobody had known

Oh, but I never loved you more even though now I knew what you did

Oh my dear

I will wait for you

And grace tonight, will pull us through

Yeah, oh my dear, I will wait for you

And grace tonight will pull us through

Until the tears have left your eyes

Until the fears can sleep at night

Until the demons that you’re scared of, disappear inside

Until this guilt begins to crack

And the weight falls from your back

Oh my dear

I’ll keep you in my arms...

Till the tears have left your eyes

Until the fears can sleep at night

Until the demons that you’re scared of, have disappeared inside

Until this guilt begins to crack

And the weight falls from your back

Well, oh my dear

I’ll keep you in my arms tonight

I'll keep you in my arms tonight
