"As I Hold You" lyrics

Richard Thompson Lyrics

"As I Hold You"

Far-flung and sleeping
The friends I relied on
Sleeping like sailors
Adrift and apart

Loving is parting
It's sooner or later
There's always eternity
Here in my heart

Will you hold me
Safe inside you
As I hold you, will you
Keep a memory burning
As I keep you
As I keep you
As I keep you

Nothing will end if
I hold you forever
In the cage here inside me
A trembling bird

Love will amaze you
Amaze you forever
The strength of a dream, oh
The strength of a word

Will you hold me
Safe inside you
As I hold you, will you
Keep a memory burning
As I keep you
As I keep you
As I keep you
