LIFELINE

 

 

Come in out of the weather he said   before you catch your death                             

And spend the rest of your time lost in the storm                                            

Life is filled with the regrets of the chances never born

Step inside where it’s   safe and warm

 

          

I’m a shelter for your heart     

Home to your next breath      

Put your hand in mine

Before you reach the end of your lifeline

 

Set yourself at ease with me                             

Look into my eyes and see                             

It’s not about the risk                                      

It’s about the love you miss                            

Take time to feel the sun                                 

When it’s warm upon your skin                       

Open up the door and let me in                    

 

I’m a shelter for your heart                 

Home to your next breath                  

Take this hand of mine

Before you reach the end

Of your lifeline

 

But his words find me running away               

And my heart is made of stone                      

The will to survive is strong                              

Even when it’s wrong                                     

 

Once there was a man who tried

To make it to the other side

And he stumbled through the mist

Where hope and love exist

Sometimes when the wind is right

In the darkest hour of the night

I can hear his voice again

It almost pulls me in

 

I’m a shelter for your heart                 

Home to your next breath                  

Take this hand of mine

Before you reach the end

Of a lifeline
