Hold Me Close

Winds blow strong and menacing
The earth shakes beneath my feet
My thoughts are scattered and wandering
I am about to concede defeat

Hold me close in your arms
Cradle my fragile heart in your hands
Close to you, I'm safe from harm
There's no better place in this No Man's Land

Hold me as I weep
Hold me till I'm strong
Hold me and keep me
I'll have to let go before long

I don't want to face the night on my own.
