Shannon Leigh Reynolds - Closer To You
Be Here To Love Me
Written by Townes Van Zandt
Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine
Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine
That's got you to feeling this way,
But I don't care, I want you to stay
And hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
The children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all
The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall
But who cares what the night watchmen say
The stage has been set for the play
So just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on to the sky
Well, the wind's runnin' free though it ain't up to me ask why
But the poets are demanding their pay
And they've left me with nothin' to say
'Cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
Hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
