| Ray LaMontagne – Hold You In My Arms Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
I think this is a song about the troubled girl he loves. "When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears, it was easy to see you'd been crying. Seems like everywhere you turn, catastrophe it reigns But who really profits from the dying I could hold you in my arms I could hold you forever I could hold you in my arms I could hold you forever" All her faults, all the trouble that follows her he loves her for. All he wants to do is hold her, comfort her, be with her. When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions My worried mind that you quiet Place your hands on my face Close my eyes and say That love is a poor man's food Don't prophesize She is telling him we live for love, it is free, it keeps us going, stop questioning that. Stop questioning this. So now we see how it is This fist begets the spear Weapons of war Symptoms of madness Don't let your eyes refuse to see Don't let your ears refuse to hear Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness He loves her so he tells her, stop ignoring what is happening, stop shrinking back form your life. open your eyes and ears, or this sadness won't go away. It is what it is. She is troubled and he loves her. And for that I love this song. |
