about

This is the song Oh My Dear by Tenth Avenue North, but sung from the girl's perspective. It's an interesting contrast to the original.

lyrics

You called me up, I was in bed
Could barely make out the words that I said
But I wanted to see you instead
So you got dressed

And I waited and hung up the phone
As you walked for a mile or so
I have never ever felt so low
I was a mess

Well, I finally came to the door
And we talked for an hour or more
Until you asked if I would stay up til four
I said, “That’s fine”

But I said, “There’s something I have to say
And I can’t because I’m just so afraid”
So you held me as I started to shake
That night

Oh, my dear
You will wait for me
Grace tonight, will set me free

Until the tears have left my eyes
Until the fear can sleep at night
Until the demons that I’m scared of
Disappear inside

Until this guilt begins to crack
And the weight falls from my back
Oh, my dear
You’ll keep me in your arms tonight

I slowly lifted my head from my hands
I said, “I just don’t think that you’ll understand
You’ll look at me that way again
If you knew what I did”

So my tears fell and melted the snow
I told you secrets nobody had known
Oh, but you never loved me more even though
You knew what I did

Oh, my dear
You will wait for me
And grace tonight, will set me free
Yeah, oh my dear, you will wait for me
And grace tonight, will set me free

Until the tears have left my eyes
Until the fears can sleep at night
Until the demons that I’m scared of
Disappear inside

Until this guilt begins to crack
And the weight falls from my back
Oh my dears
You’ll keep me in your arms

Until the tears had left my eyes
Until the fears could sleep at night
Until the demons that I was scared of
Disappeared inside

Until the guilt began to crack
And the weight fell from my back
Oh, my Lord, you kept me in your arms that night

You kept me in your arms, that night
