My Lover's Keeper

(album: Full Circle - 1981)

I try to give you room and know my place
But love, I know your face
And you're feeling grey
And if I'm half the love I claim to be
How can I see you look like that
And turn myself away?
And there is nothing wrong with facing you
And asking if there's anything that I can do

I am my lover's keeper
My concern is with her
I am my lover's keeper
Every turn that she takes, I'm with her
She keeps me as I keep her
In my care, she's there for me

I am my lover's keeper
Never fear
I'm never far from here
I'm standing by you
And when you feel the need to wander free
I'm here to see you back to where we both can see it through
And there is nothing wrong with letting go
I know enough to let you be, yet let you know

I am my lover's keeper
My concern is with her
I am my lover's keeper
Every turn that she takes, I'm with her
She keeps me as I keep her
In my care, she's there for me

I am my lover's keeper
My concern is with her
I am my lover's keeper
Every turn that she takes, I'm with her
She keeps me as I keep her
In my care, she's there for me

I am my lover's keeper
My concern is with her
I am my lover's keeper
Every turn that she takes, I'm with her
She keeps me as I keep her
In my care, she's there for me

I am my lover's keeper
My concern is with her
I am my lover's keeper
Every turn that she takes, I'm with her
