Arms of a Lover Lyrics by Sam Burchfield

Scoundrel

2022

[Verse 1]
Far from the one who wants me the most
Missing that tender embrace
You can call, you can write, you can sing to the sky
But a note and a word can't replace
[Chorus]
The arms of a lover, I need 'em close
The touch of the only hands I will hold
You can drink, you can smoke, you can light up and toke
But there's nothing like the arms of a lover
[Verse 2]
Seems I've been gone seventeen nights
Cold and feeling lonesome, stoned and deprived
Howling like a wolf, drunk on moonshine
But I don't think my soul could mistake
[Chorus]
The arms of a lover, I need 'em close
The touch of the only hands I will hold
You can drink, you can smoke, you can light up and toke
But there's nothing like the arms of a lover
[Verse 3]
You took the gun and I took the knife
I took a bullet and you took my life
And if you forget I wrote down these lines
We betray and we're damned for all time
We betray and we're damned for all time
[Chorus]
The arms of a lover wrapped around my throat
The touch of the final hands that I'll know
I can sleep and die well, I can burn up in hell
And it's all in the arms of a lover
Yes, it's all in the arms of a lover
