You Held the Light In Your Hands

You held the light in your hands
and I bask in its glow
I only knew what was cold;
So I beg you, don't go

You are- the shoulders to my head
Your support is my strength
Like he hands to my arms
Your right; my command

How music and ears
can get along so- you made
My stringless breath sing
And I beg you: don't go

You are- the floor to my knees
My eyes to my grieve
The light in your hands
Has kept me burning the past

And when in ashes I suffer
What my clothes cannot cover
Hold your light over me
So that no-one will see

The air to my breath
is all tainted by you
The sparks from your fire
by one, not a few

So what you cannot say
has taught me to feel
You touch what needs to melt
so hold- and see that i will

You hold the light in your hands
and my heart's in its glow
So I know its called love
Now I beg you: Don't go.
