Be Here To Love Me Lyrics

Townes Van Zandt Be Here To Love Me

Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine
Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine
That's got you to feel in this way
But I don't care I want you to stay
And hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

The children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all
The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall
But who cares what the night watchmen say
The stage has been set for the play
So just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on on to the sky
Well, the wind's runnin' free though it ain't up to me, ask why
But the poets are demanding their pay
An' they've left me with nothin' to say
'Cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

Just hold me and tell me that you'll be here to love me today
