Thanks for the read.

"Would You"

Would you take hold of my hand if I was lost in the desert
And lead me back to where the cool streams flow
Would you quench my thirst with sweet wine by the firelight
Would you smile for me
Would you love me
Would you love me

I sigh at the prospect of not holding you
I weep tears that burn my eyes blood red
I hold fast to all the things you said to me
Would you ever say them again

One look from you and that's all it took
All my defenses dissolved
Oh, why couldn't it have been different
I felt like prisoner in paradise
Felt the passion of southern breezes
Dazzling diamonds sparkled on our eye lashes
As we huddled to reach warm shelter
In the flurry of winter winds

Slipped down fast in a landslide
Lost my grip on your hand
As I fell
I cried out your name
But you weren't listening to me
Will I ever hear you say my name again

Would you take hold of my hand if I was lost in the desert
And lead me back to where the cool streams flow
Would you quench my thirst with sweet wine by the firelight
Would you smile for me
Would you love me
Would you love me

I sigh at the prospect of not holding you
I weep tears that burn my eyes blood red
I hold fast to all the things you said to me
Would you ever say them again

Would you love me
Would you love me
Or would the world that I knew come to an end
