Come with me
into the dark cool brush
Kneel here in the dirt with me
hold my hands tightly
while I whisper in your ear
all my hopes and dreams
and things I dare not tell
another living soul, save you
Hold me close in this thicket
as I wrench my heart from my chest
and give it to you
as I cry these tears
eyes closed,head hung down
let the branches close in
and the world be shut out
Be mine, just for me alone
Say you will never go away
never cause me any pain
Even if its not true
just tell me, I’ll believe
in this moment, this breath
as we kneel together
in the fading of the day
