my heart, your hands, gentle my friend

break me neatly, numb me sweetly



say you would, say you could

say you'd come and stop the rain

say you'd try and hold me tight

and you just give me away

make me high on lullabies

a melody for me to sway

say you would, say you could

and you don't do anything



come down heavy, try and steady

precious ladies, love you, love me...



[chorus]



hold my head up to the lies that you feed me

I'll fall under the spell you cast as you let me down



say you would, say you could

say you'd come and stop the rain

say you'd try and hold me tight

and you just give me away

make me high on lullabies

a melody for me to sway

make me high on lullabies a melody for me to sway



[chorus]



say you'd come and stop the rain...
