I Hold Her (Album Version)

Smokey is my apple

And green are my eyes

Silent as snowfall

I whisper goodbyes:

Farewell to the child

That I used to be

I hold her she's sobbing my baby

The wolf and the lion

Have asked me to play

'Though she told me not to

I went anyway

A pile of matches

The truth at my feet

I hold her she's sobbing my baby

The cream in my tea

Spells out something to me

And they say that I'll heal by the day

But the message I give

Kills off all will to live

I'm afraid that I'm losing my way

Burning in heaven

My destiny lies

When she read my stars

She didn't mention that night

I loved you my Bambi

I don't want to leave

But I hold her she's sobbing

My baby

I hold her she's sobbing

I hold her she's sobbing

I hold her she's sobbing my baby
