I Hold Her

Smokey is my apple
and green are my eyes
Silent as snowfall
I whisper goodbyes:

Farewell to the child
that I used to be
I hold her, she's sobbing, "my baby"...

The wolf and the lion
have asked me to play
'though she told me not to
I went anyway

A pile of matches
the truth at my feet
I hold her, she's sobbing "my baby"...

The cream in my tea
Spells out something to me
and they say that I'll heal by the day

But the message I give
kills off all will to live
I'm afraid that I'm losing my way

Burning in heaven
My destiny lies
When she read my stars
She didn't mention that night

I loved you, my Bambi
I don't want to leave
But, I hold her she's sobbing, "my baby"...

I hold her, she's sobbing
I hold her, she's sobbing
I hold her, she's sobbing "my baby"...
