Ray Lamontagne - Hold You In My Arms lyrics

When you came to me

With your bad dreams and your fears

It was easy to see that you'd been crying

Seems like everywhere you turn

Catastrophe it reigns

But who really profits from the dying

I could hold you in my arms

I could hold you forever

I could hold you in my arms

I could hold you in my arms forever

When you kissed my lips

With my mouth so full of questions

It's my worried mind that you quiet

Place your hands on my face

Close my eyes and say

Love is a poor man's food

Don't prophesize

I could hold you in my arms

I could hold you forever

And I could hold you in my arms

I could hold you forever

So now we see how it is

This fist begets the spear

Weapons of war

Symptoms of madness

Don't let your eyes refuse to see

Don't let your ears refuse to hear

Or you ain't never going to shake

This sense of sadness

I could hold you in my arms

I could hold on forever

And I could hold you in my arms

I could hold forever
