I Cling On for Dear Life Lyrics
Still strung out on a sharp stuttered mouth
He left me wounded on the sand
There are no healing hands
He left an arrow in my heart
No one else can make the dark silver melt like
A sword is in the stone
It keeps my blood and flow
To pull it out would turn the lights out
Quick shards of light on my pillow
Remind me that I haven't let go
I cling on for dear life till he says so
He signed his name with a burning flame
All across my bones, my aching shield
To him, a lord, I yield
I wished a hundred times I could feel it
Quick shards of light on my pillow
Remind me that I haven't let go
Holding me loose by the elbow
And guiding me through what he won't show
I cling on for dear life till he says so
He left me wounded on the sand
There are no healing hands
He left an arrow in my heart
No one else can make the dark silver melt like
A sword is in the stone
It keeps my blood and flow
To pull it out would turn the lights out
Remind me that I haven't let go
I cling on for dear life till he says so
All across my bones, my aching shield
To him, a lord, I yield
I wished a hundred times I could feel it
Remind me that I haven't let go
Holding me loose by the elbow
And guiding me through what he won't show
I cling on for dear life till he says so

I think she's talking about a man she's in love with so much that it hurts her. "I cling on for dear life til he says so" meaning she lets him call all the shots in the relationship.
