Hold Me Now

Again, he gave his chastised body to the street
Black and blue with coffee burns and cigarette holes
Keeled over and hanging onto another wall
He knows too well that he's staying there tonight

With his arms hanging down as low as low
With his eyes as closed without being closed
With his future as dark as it is light
All he knows is that he's staying there tonight

*Hold me now
Hold me now
Hold me now
Please, hold me now
(repeat)

Again, she pulls her baby through the rusted iron
Cleaning her up with mother's good old spit and shine
Makes her way with cuts of blood on her elbow
She knows too well that they're not staying there tonight

With her hair hanging down as low as low
With her eyes teared without being closed
With her future as dark as it is light
All she knows is that they're not staying there tonight
