HOLD ME FOR A WHILE

Just Let Me Hold You

by Josh Krajcik

Hold Me For A While

I am a full grown woman

And I can make it on my own

I've spent most of my life that way

A warrior, aloof, alone.

But what is life if no one needs you?

 And you don't need anyone?

Then this life has lost it's meaning

And there's no room for love or fun.

You have to let your guard down

Let someone in your heart

Eventually or you will see

Your book end before it starts.

You have to make the decision

To protect yourself or risk

Love breaking your heart by loving

Or from the love you made it miss.

Either way, at the end of the day

Whether woman, man or child

We all need the arms of others

To just hold us for a while.

I'd rather hurt by losing

Than never giving it a try

Even when your every Hello

Is followed by Goodbye.

If needing love is weakness

Then let my weakness be

I'll be the warrior tomorrow, love

If tonight, you'll just hold me.

And when it comes your time to hurt

My love will lift you high

Bare my strengthened warrior's shoulder

As a place for you to cry.

One alone is not very strong

But two entwined can be

And a three-fold cord cannot be broken

When it's you and God and me.

You may think that I am foolish

When I reveal my soul to view

But I trust you with my weaknesses

As I do the same for you.

We were not created to be alone

But to need what we don't possess

From others who need what we can give

And to those, should gladly bless.

Tomorrow, I may be a lion again

A formidable foe to fight

But I just need to know that I can let go

Here in your arms tonight.

DESPERATE CHARACTERS

start music now

Desperate Characters

Desperate characters

we dance in the dark

trying to capture

that magic, that spark

Wining and dining

and yearning to feel

the way that we did once

when true love was real

Desperate characters

we probe with our eyes

and try to detect there

the truth and the lies

Hoping for something

that can't be replaced

by strangers and others

that time has erased

Desperate characters

we give it a whirl

out there on the floor

the ballroom of the world

Of loving and losing

and losing some more

two ships without anchors

that have crashed on the shore

Still looking for magic

and longing for home

cause a house is just shelter

when you live alone

Desperate characters

trying so to be brave

holding onto a moment

that the heart cannot save

Then the music, it stops now

and the bright lights come on

in the dark, I was hopeful

but I'm leaving alone.

AS THE NIGHT WRITES US IT'S SONG

As The Night Writes Us It's Song


I want you like I need you
I need you like I love
I love you like the ground below
And like the sky above

I feel you in the twilight
Like soft sand 'neath my feet
Coming through the atmosphere
And there my heart to meet

Touching me with just your eyes
Devouring with your glance
You reach for me as your soul sings
And pulls me close to dance

The day, forgotten, the night, awaits
And loneliness is gone
We kiss, we love, we touch, we sing
As the night writes us it's song
