Be Here To Love Me

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
I don’t care, I want you to stay
So hold me and tell me, you’ll be here to love me today

Children are dancin’, the gamblers are chancin’ their all
The window’s accusing the door of abusing the wall
Who cares what the night watchmen say
the stage has been set for the play
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
The wind’s running free but it ain’t up to me to ask why
The poets are demanding their pay
They’ve left me with nothing to say
‘Cept hold me and tell me, you’ll be here to love me today
