COMFORT YOU

Broken whisper I can hear you crying tonight

Empty words and arms can’t make it alright

You’ve run out of questions without answers to hold

For the cold caress of helplessness inside you

So let me comfort you

Comfort you

You’re losing hope in little memories everyday

The red hairs on the floor are being swept away

I can’t fix what’s broken but I’ll hold the pieces in place

Just let me put my loving arms around you

And let me comfort you

Comfort you

Just let me comfort you

Comfort you

We’ll load your gun with silver bullets

To kill the monsters in your room

A kiss to wash the ashes from your mouth

Your bleeding knees of prayer

Pressed lips against your heart

Dance with your shadow in the open doorway light

I’ll protect you as you lay there helpless in sleep

From the heartbreaking flowers in the Magnolia trees

Don’t let your life forget to forgive what it has done

Don’t let it take the love left inside you

And let me comfort you

Comfort you

Just let me comfort you

Comfort you
