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

So I stepped out into the snow,

and walked for a mile or so

Felt the rush of blood come from the cold, within 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 until four, and you said that's fine

But you said "there’s something I have to say, and I can just because I am so afraid"

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

Oh, my dear, I’ll 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 the scale 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 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

But I never loved you more, even though

Now I know what you did

Oh, my dear, I’ll wait for you

Grace tonight will pull us through

Oh, my dear, I’ll wait for you

And 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 the scale begins to crack

And the weight falls from your back

Oh, my dear, I’ll keep you in my arms tonight

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 the scale begins to crack

And the weight falls from your back

Oh, my dear, ill keep you in my arms tonight

I'll keep you in my arms tonight
