lyrics

When you feel down and out
Well I’ll still hang about
At the end of the day
You can throw me away

Round and round in circles with your words
Tell me something that I’ve never heard

Two strong arms to wrap around you
Two tired eyes to dream about you
One warm heart to beat against you
A second skin to help protect you
All I can say is how I feel
And all I mean is what I say
In my way

And you cry when you’re hurt
And hide away from the world
I can share in your pain
Till you feel good again

Darling you’re the image in my dreams
Darling this is where I want to be

Two strong arms to wrap around you
Two tired eyes to dream about you
One warm heart to beat against you
A second skin to help protect you
All I can say is how I feel
And all I mean is what I say
In my way

Say how you’re feeling right now
Tell what you’re thinking about
Stay till the storm has blown out

And it’s hard to be sure
What you want any more
There’s a long way to go
But I still need to know

It’s better to be sorry than be safe
Better that it’s never than too late

Two strong arms to wrap around you
Two tired eyes to dream about you
One warm heart to beat against you
A second skin to help protect you
All I can say is how I feel
And all I mean is what I say
In my way
