about

Cover of the song from Tenth Avenue North. It's a tribute to Karen Jiang for showing me this amazing song! :]

lyrics

I called you up, you were in bed,
Couldn't make out the words that you said
But you wanted to see me instead,
So I got dressed
So I stepped out into the snow,
And walked for a mile or so
Felt the rush of blood come from the cold,
In my chest

Well, you finally came to the door,
And we talked for an hour or more
Until I asked if you would stay up until four,
You said that's fine
But you said "theres something I have to say,
And I can't just because I am so afraid"
And so I held you as you started to shake,
That night

Oh, my dear, I'll wait for you
Grace tonight will pull us through
Until the tears have left your eyes
Until the fears can sleep at night
Until the demons that you're scared of
Disappear inside
Until the scale begins to crack
And this weight falls from your back
Oh, my dear, I'll keep you in my arms tonight

You slowly lifted your head from your hands
You said "I just don't think you'll understand
You'll never look at me that way again
If you knew what I did"
And so your tears fell and melted the snow
You told me secrets nobody had known
But I never loved you more, even though
Now I know what you did

Oh, my dear, I'll wait for you
Grace tonight will pull us through
Until the tears have left your eyes
Until the fear can sleep at night
Until the demons that you're scared of
Disappear inside
Until the scale begins to crack
And this weight falls from your back
Oh, my dear, I'll keep you in my arms tonight

Oh, my dear, I'll wait for you
Grace tonight will pull us through
Until the tears have left your eyes
Until the fear can sleep at night
Until the demons that you're scared of
Disappear inside
Until the scale begins to crack
And this weight falls from your back
Oh, my dear, I'll keep you in my arms tonight
I'll keep you in my arms tonight
