I Hold Her

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