Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In my dream, our love was lost
I lived by luck and fate
I carried you inside of me
Prayed it wouldn't be too late
Now I'm standing on this empty road
Where nothing moves but the wind
And honey I just wanna be
[Verse 2]
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
[Verse 3]
Oh once I was your treasure
And I saw your face in every star
But these promises we make at night
Oh that's all they are
Unless we fill them with faith and love
They're empty as a howlin' wind
And honey I just wanna be
[Verse 4]
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
[Verse 5]
You came to me with love and kindness
But all my life, I've been a prisoner of my own blindness
I met you with indifference
And I don't know why
Now I wake from my dream
I wake from my dream to this world
Where all is shadow and darkness
And above me a dark sky unfurls
And all the love I've thrown away and lost
I'm longin' for again
Now darlin' I just wanna be
[Verse 6]
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
Back in your arms
Back in your arms again
