By the Hand

Love me now, like you loved me then When we were young, and we were friends And all around, life it shined And all your dreams were paired with time Saw you pray by the river I watched with fear as it tumbled down The man you saw, is the man he was A man with heart, and a man with cause A move of pride, and a loss of thought For the place you saw, but you had not Yet reached, like you had hoped to He wandered in as you stumbled out So take me by the hand And make me understand that I was wrong Shoo the fear out of my eyes And show me this is what I wanted Oh this is what I've wanted All along A line of cars on a summer day With their headlights on, on their way To a bed of grass, where she'd been laid And all the speeches had been made What she saw was a lifetime But what she knew was something else So take me by the hand And make me understand that I was wrong Shoo the fear out of my eyes And show me this is what I wanted Oh this is what I've wanted All along Yeah all along A room of brick, in a house of stone In a place of lies, that you once owned When all the jewels were divided up What you received was all by luck You wore the face of forgiveness But it never led you to the truth So take me by the hand And make me understand that I was wrong Shoo the fear out of my eyes And show me this is what I wanted Oh this is what I've wanted All along Yeah all along
