Tender Arms

Snow started falling in the late afternoon
Covering the world in sheets of white
Feels like a long wait for springtime
Facing a cold endless night – no stars in sight

The wine has got me thinking of old lovers
A few of them still burn inside of me
I wonder if it’s snowing where they are
Maybe one or two have thoughts of me – what used to be

Wish I had some tender arms to hold me tonight
I had my chances but they’ve flown
Wish I had some tender arms and soft candlelight
Someone to whisper a song – a sweet sweet song – all night long

Seems I always was a dreamer
In love with love, in love with fantasy
Always reaching for a distant star
Pulled back to earth by gravity – gravity
