I needed it most, when I was eighteen   But now that I'm older, I don't need many things   Just someone to hold, that's what you give me   When dark touches your skull babe   Aw, baby you drop that on me      So I say Lord, all the Heavens you've made   Can't hold back the ghosts, that haunt my baby and me   Oh can't you hold 'em back, from comin' on in   To a lovely woman, that just wants her mind back again      I cannot crumble, what you want this to be   Or bring peace of mind, ain't there to see   Aw, if you don't know yourself, how could you ever know me   But to have and to hold, yeah that's the way it's gotta be
