I look into your blue eyes deep pools I had no idea   I know hunted down from coast to coast   Circumstance prevailed it was hard on us both.   I've run hard, I'm so tired from the chase   So desperately I'm aching   The waning of the starlight   Embers turn to ash as I fade.      And now you're next to me   I beg you baby please don't go   End of the road for me   I'll just hold you close   Just hold you close   End of the mystery a gift from heaven on this day   Your touch to comfort me   Just comfort me      Your sheltering soul not a moment too soon   You're a sweet tourniquet   For my soul lies rife with open wounds   And yes I thought as I closed my eyes   I saw phantom apparitions dance   And are we really safe on our own   Or are they out there watching   Right now I don't want to care at all   Just like a silent song   Just reach out your hands and take hold   Take hold   When the limit of your pain   Exceeds the mercies of your love   It's time to cease and release and just fly      And now you've come to me   A sanctuary borne of love   Honest sincerity I'll just hold you close   Just hold you close   It's in the way you move   A phoenix risen on this day   Your touch to comfort me   Just comfort me      I disrobe my burdens and I lay them at your feet   So much about this world I'd just as soon they keep   Their faces melt reflections on the wind   Or are they out there watching   As time stands still this Christmas Day
