Aa I want someone to hold me me hold me tight
I want someone to hold me in the long hours of the night
The shelter of your presence the shelter of your arms
Hold me hold me darling give me peace and calm
I feel like I’m a baby thrown cruely from my nest
Or I’m a little suckling torn cruelly from the breast
Don’t leave me here without you for I don’t want to stay.
My legs have turned to jelly my heart beats in dismay.
The first loss is the mother and her sheltering gaze
We must turn and walk alone though our hearts are flayed
How my heart sings
