lyrics

I wish I could have built a fire
For you to warm yourself beside
Safe above the raging tides
That might drag you down
Where you’d never have to hide
Any pain you kept inside
Any sorrow you denied
Would get healing all around
*****
But you took yourself away
You took yourself away
Not a word did you say
To tell us why
*****
All the places that I go
I see friends we used to know
Talk of how we loved you so
What we wished we’d done
Did you fear we’d turn away
If your hurtin’ you did say
We’d have been there night or day
We would not have run
*****
But you took yourself away
You took yourself away
Not a word did you say
To let us know
*****
We would take you in our arms
And tell you all your charms
And hold your broken heart in ours
*****
You took yourself away
You took yourself away
And in our hearts today
An empty space
And in our hearts you’ll always have a place
*****
I wish I could have built a fire
For you to warm yourself beside…
