Triffids Leaning
Well his hands are cold
and there's a shadow on his heart
Sometimes you can't even see him but
you know he's there beside you in the dark
Pain behind the eyes
Electricity across the skin
Sometimes you can't even feel him
but if you leave an open heart
you know that he'll come in
Yes you know that he'll come in
Chorus
I was quite convinced
there was no-one there at all
but I felt something touch me,
and I think I know what for
Now I'm leaning, leaning,
safe and secure from all alarm
Yes I'm leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms
I'm leaning, leaning, remote and removed
from all your charms
I'm leaning, leaning,
leaning on the everlasting arms
What have I to care? What have I to fear?
If I know you're there. If I know you're near
The path to love leads through the garden of sin
You start out strong but there is weakness within
You think your life is worth its weight in gold
And grace is a provision to be bought and sold
Sweet voices calling you from either side
With words of vanity seducing you pride
The final stretch is dark and cold
You carry more than your weak arms can hold
