If you could see me now The one who said that he'd rather roam The one who said he'd rather be alone If you could only see me now If I could hold you now Just for a moment if I could make you mine Just for a while turn back the hands of time If I could only hold you now I've been too long in the wind, too long in the rain Taking any comfort that I can Looking back and longing for the freedom from my chains Lying in your loving arms again If you could hear me now Singing somewhere through the lonely nights Dreaming of the arms that held me tight If you could only hear me now I've been too long in the wind, too long in the rain Taking any comfort that I can Looking back and longing for the freedom from my chains Lying in your loving arms again
