Alistair M. Cowan lyrics

These Arms

Light another candle,
See the shadows dance across,
The lines on my face.
I'll tidy up the dishes,
Pull the curtains closed,
They keep us safe.
And we go upstairs,
And lie awake in bed,
And I'll say...

I got these arms to hold,
These arms to care,
And it maybe that I'm changing,
But I pray that you don't care,
And I feel a little old,
I got these arms...

Another long distance journey,
Another chance for us to say our farewells,
Seeing friends and family,
Hope to see you soon,
I hope you're well.
And we go outside,
And look into the sky,
And I say.....

I got these arms to hold,
These arms to care,
And it maybe that I'm changing,
But I pray that you don't care,
And I feel a little old,
I got these arms to hold you.
