lyrics

Thank you for being around
Your presence dims the raging sounds
That glitter and glow through my mind on shards of glass.
When you’re gone
They hammer out their awful song
That drowns the world in a sea of twisted brass

Thank you for holding my hand
Your grip gives me the will to stand
And face the forces that feed me to my fears.

On my arms
The tangled scars that outlived their harms
Can testify to the follies of my years.

What can I do
What can I do for you
What can I do my dear
I’ll be right here
I’ll be right here my dear
I’ll be right here to see you through

Thank you for not letting go
The life we lead is hard, I know,
And not at all the life we had in mind.
Your love
Is stronger than any kind of drug
That medicine or science could ever find.
