Lyrics

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
Just to hold me and tell me
You'll be here to love me today
Children are dancin'
The gamblers are chancin' 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 to the sky
Well, the wind's runnin' free
But it ain't up to me ask why
But the poets are demanding their pay
And they've left me with nothin' to say
Except 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
Just hold me and tell me
You'll be here to love me today
