I See You In The Morning Light

I see you in the morning light 
in the depth of deep darkness 
somewhere
in the middle of a quiet night. 

You give me pleasure 
you give me strength 
something to hold on to 
when I feel lonely 
weak 
and out of strength. 

No one else
could I conceive will keep me
safe 
and be the one
who carries me far from here
far into eternity.

Totally In The Dark

Totally in the dark 
Absolutely unable to see 

Whether the world will 
Come and hold me 
Keep me safe 
Or
Throw me to the wolves 
Surrounding me 

Could it be 
The wolves will be 
My saviour 
Surrounding, protecting me 

Totally in the dark 
Absolutely unable to see.

Hold Me Close, Hold Me Tight

Hold me close, hold me tight
keep the light on
throughout
the darkest night.

Let no one say the words
that cut the heart
no matter
all its great might.

Keep me safe, keep me on
the path that’s right
then and only then my world will turn
and be alright.
