If you were only here with me
all my fears would cease to be
my obsessions I could fight
watch my haunting demons' flight
they took me over they are strong
for I am weak and I so long
for strong arms to hold me tight
and words that touch my aching heart
if you would only hold my hand
and take me to our promised land
for somewhere love is plain to see
in worlds of dreams and reverie
but on this side of the palest moon
for such love there is no room
no place to hide no shore to find
so drifting on an endless sea
for ever doomed we would then be
there is no haven in the storm
for such hope that is forlorn
but take my hand and let us leave
for I would rather die like this
than live a life of nothingness
the two left home for the open sea
here you are my love with me
you gave to me your gentle hand
I ask no more it's our promised land
but on this side of the palest moon
for such love there was no room
no place to hide no shore to find
so drifting on an endless sea
for ever doomed they were to be
there was no haven in the storm
for such hope that is forlorn
hand in hand they did depart
for they would rather die like this
than live a life of nothingness.
