Townes Van Zandt - Be Here To Love Me lyrics

rate me

Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine

Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine

That's got you to feeling this way, but I don't care,

I want you to stay and hold me

And tell me you'll be here to love me today

Children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all

The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall

But who cares what the night watchmen say

The stage has been set for the play

Hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on on to the sky

The wind's runnin' free but it ain't up to me ask why

The poets are demanding their pay

They've left me with nothin' to say

'cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

Just hold me and tell me that you'll be here to love me today
