I Could Be

If you fall into my arms

I will keep you falling

And if you break down in my doorway

I will sleep with you there

And if you cry out in the dark

I will hear you calling

And if you are cold and wounded

I will shiver at your side

At your side

I could be yours if you write me a letter

I could be yours if you see me in the street

I could be sometime always or never

I could be all of the things you'd ask of me

You'd ask of me

If you are tired and trembling

I will hold you in your bed

And if you're consumed by a red rage

I will stroke your matted head

And if you are chased by a nightmare

I will dive into your dreams

And if you are followed by old ghosts

I will watch them till they leave, till they leave

I could be yours if you write me a letter

I could be yours if you see me in the street

I could be sometime always or never

I could be all of the things you'd ask of me

But how, how do I go

If your heart, won't let me know

And how, how can I be

If your eyes still let me see

And where, where can I run

If your legs still hold me up

And who, who can I be

If your hugs still help me breath

I could be yours if you write me a letter

I could be yours if you see me in the street

I could be sometime always or never

I could be all of the things you'd ask of me

You'd ask of me
