Here Sean, I'll go first. An old lyric from 1990, getting ready to leave 1st husband days of misery.
comfort
dreams lurk in the shadows
waiting for eyes to close
white mist mysteries and how
very red the solemn rose
sometimes I see his face
the way he slams the door
then i spit on the treaties
and i'm back in the cold war
so the face in my mirror
doesn't look like me anymore
(chorus)
could you hold me close to you
could you dry the tears i cry
i'll comfort you
you comfort me
together--any weather
we can make it right
i need to bring my mind
all the way--full circle
to a place i can't conceive
somewhere love's shine never dulls
i imagine this life
a small flame in the wind
perform the same fragile dance
waver--unsure yet again
i've dreamed you so many times
but don't know how to make my stand
(chorus)
hold out your hopeless hope
and this time i'll be there
i promise this time your hands
won't be clutching empty air
i hate to see you hurt
you watch the world go by
and you make no excuses
for the tears she makes you cry
for the way you sing her name
to the deaf and uncaring sky
(chorus)
comfort me, comfort you
let this feeling roll away our blues
laurel hoover
wow. I'd forgotten how depressing and unwise that lyric was! Anyway, there it is, in all it's tarnished glory.
