Be Here To Love Me

(album: Our Mother The Mountain - 1969)

Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine
Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine
That's got you to feeling this way,
but I don't care, I want you to stay
And hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

The children are dancing, the gamblers are chancing their all
The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall

But who cares what the night watchmen say
The stage has been set for the play
So just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today

The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on on to the sky
Well the wind's running free though it ain't up to me ask why
But the poets are demanding their pay
And they've left me with nothing to say
'cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
Just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today
