Just To Hold You

(álbum: Loco Gringo's Lament - 1994)

All you know of me is my reputation
Some have called me a storm about to rage
But if you'll take me and not forsake me
I'll hand you my heart in a golden cage

For I love you with reckless abandon
And I've loved you like that from the start
It's my good fortune just to know you
Your eyes put wildness in my heart

Down from the mountains I come like thunder
For I've lingered too long where the cold rivers run
Just to know you
Just to flow with you
Just to grow with you
And to reap and sow with you
Just to hold you when your hair's undone

Like a flash of lightning in the heavens
Some lives light up a darkened sky
There are others who fall and stumble
And they'll hide their hearts and their love tonight

But if you'll take me and not forsake me
If you'll have me just as I am
I will love you beyond forever
And I'll pledge to you my heart upon sacred ground

Down from the mountains I come like thunder
For I've lingered too long where the cold rivers run
Just to know you
Just to flow with you
Just to grow with you
And to reap and sow with you
Just to hold you when your hair's undone

Out in the Badlands I am an outlaw
But I'll stand on the words of St. Paul
Though we speak like angels and gain the whole world
If we don't have love, we have nothing at all

But if I displease you and you don't want me
Well, I'll still wish you love, for love is blessed
We can take nothing greater upon our journey
Rest assured we need take nothing less

Down from the mountains I come like thunder
For I've lingered too long where the cold rivers run
Just to know you
Just to flow with you
Just to grow with you
And to reap and sow with you
Just to hold you when your hair's undone
Just to hold you when your hair's undone
