Soften The Blow

Setting sun to close the new day
Bring your moon, bring your moon
And if you rise, I'll hold the ladder
To help you rise, I'll help you rise
And if you fall, I'll lay myself down
To soften the blow, soften the blow
I will hold you once again, I will hold you once again
The winds, they blow southeast now
Cool things down, cool things down
And if you rise, I will hold the ladder
To help you rise, I'll help you rise
And if you fall, I'll lay myself down
To soften the blow, soften the blow
I will hold you once again, I will hold you once again
The candle burns to the right now
And the wax it melts slowly down
And if you rise, I will hold the ladder
To help you rise, I'll help you rise
And if you fall, I will lay myself
To soften the blow, soften the blow
I will hold you once again, I will hold you once again
There be my shelter in your arms
Away
