Lyrics

And in the (A)mid dle of the night I may watch you go.

There’ll be no (A)val ue in the strength of walls that I have grown.

There’ll be no (G)com fort in the shade of the (D)shad (A)ows

thrown.

But I’d (A5)be yours if you’d (A5)be mine.

Stretch out my life

and (G)pick the (D)seams out.

Take what you like,

but (G)close my (A)ears and eyes

and watch me stum ble (A5)o ver and (A5)o ver.

I had done wrong.

You (G)build your (D)tow er but call me home.

And (G)I will (A)build a throne

and (G)wash my (D)eyes out (A5)nev (F#)er

(A5)a gain.

But love the one you hold

and I’ll be your goal.

To have and to hold.

A lo ver of the light.

With skin too tight

and (G)eyes like (D)mar bles you spin me high.

So (G)watch me (A)as I glide

be (G)fore I (D)tum ble (A5)home (F#)ward, and (A5)home ward.

I know I tried,

I (G)was not (D)sta ble and flawed by pride.

I (G)miss my (A)san guine eyes.

So (G)hold my (D)hands up (A5)breathe (F#)in and (A5)breathe out.

I know I

So love the one you hold

and I’ll be your goal.

To have and to hold.

A lov er of the light.

And in the (A)mid dle of the night I may watch you go.

There’ll be no (A)va lue in the strength of walls that I have grown.

There’ll be no (G)com fort in the shade of the (Bm)shad (A)ows

thrown.

You may not trust the prom i ses of the (Bm)change (A)I’ll

show.

But I’d (A5)be (F#)yours if you’d (A5)be mine.

So love the one you hold

and I’ll be your goal.

To have and to hold.

(CN.C.)A lov er of the light.

So love the one you hold

and I’ll be your goal.

To have and to hold.

(CN.C.)A lov er of the light.

So love the one you hold (CN.C.)A lov er of the light.
