Bonnie McKee - I Hold Her lyrics

rate me

Smokey is my apple

and green are my eyes

Silent as snowfall,

I whisper goodbyes:

Farewell to the child

that I used to be

I hold her, she's sobbing, "my baby..."

The wolf and the lion

have asked me to play

'though she told me not to,

I went anyway

A pile of matches,

the truth at my feet,

I hold her, she's sobbing, "my baby..."

The cream in my tea

Spells out something to me

and they say that I'll heal by the day

But the message I give

kills off all will to live

I'm afraid that I'm losing my way

Burning in heaven,

my destiny lies,

When she read my stars,

She didn't mention that night.

I loved you my Bambi,

I don't want to leave,

But I hold her, she's sobbing,

"my baby..."
