Intro
Verse 1
I called you up, you were in bed,
could barely make out the words that you said
But you wanted to see me instead, so I got dressed
and I stepped out into the snow, and walked for a mile or so
Felt the rush of blood come from the cold, in my chest
x2
Verse 2
Well you finally came to the door,
and we talked for an hour or more
Until I asked if you would stay up til four,
you said that's fine.
But you said, "there's something I have to say,
and I can't because I'm just so afraid"
And so I held you as you started to shake, that night
Pre-chorus
Oh my dear, I'll wait for you
Grace tonight will pull us through
Chorus
Until the tears have left your eyes
Until the fear can sleep at night
Until the demons that you're scared of
Disappear inside
Until this scale begins to crack
And the weight falls from your back
Oh my dear, I'll keep you in my arms tonight
Verse 3
You slowly lifted your head from your hands
You said "I just don't think that you'll understand
You'll never look at me that way again
if you knew what I did"
And so your tears fell and melted the snow
You told me secrets nobody had known
But I never loved you more, even though
Now I know what you did
Pre-chorus
(repeat)
Oh my dear, I'll wait for you
Grace tonight will pull us through
Chorus
Until the tears have left your eyes
Until the fears can sleep at night
Until the demons that you're scared of
Disappear inside
Until this scale begins to crack
And the weight falls from your back
Oh my dear, I'll keep you in my arms...
(repeat then end)
