To Keep from Crying Lyrics by Comus

To Keep From Crying

0

Hold me naked, in the dancing fire light
Close and sacred
Warm against your skin, so white

To keep from crying
In the coldness of the night
I keep on trying to surrender;
Hold me tight
Soothe my sorrows
Numb my aching head tonight
The morning follows
Set my waking garden light

All wrinkles roll away
Like wriggling ocean waves
They rise and fall at the dawn

Always must bow to the shore
Like the roaring tide, like the roaring tide
Like the jingling wind, like the jingling wind
Oh, the rainbow rise with the clouds
Set yourself on high

To keep from crying
In the coldness of the night
I keep on trying to surrender;
Hold me tight
Soothe my sorrows
Numb my aching head tonight
The morning follows
Set my waking garden light
Ah, ah, ah, ah

Outro:
All wrinkles roll away
Like wriggling ocean waves
They rise and fall at the dawn
Always must bow to the shore
