Steam Powered Giraffe - Hold Me Lyrics

You told me
You’d hold me
Hold me til the mornin’ light

You craved me
You saved me
Saved me from my own foolish blight

You’re gone now
I’m strong now
Strong enough to cry only at night

I see now
It can’t be now
Now that you’re away

And I wish that I could be like the desert
He never seems to cry
I wish that I could be like the ocean
She never needs to ask why

I’m a lonely lady only
Lonely lady only

You told me
You’d hold me
Hold me til the mornin’ light

You craved me
You saved me
Saved me from myself

And I wish that I could be like my father
He always knew what was right
I wish that I could be like my mother
She always tucked me in tight

I’m a lonely lady only
Lonely lady only

You told me
You’d hold me
Hold me til the mornin’ light

You craved me
You saved me
Saved me from own foolish blight.
