Tenth Avenue North Follow

I called you up, you were in bed
Could barely make out the words that you said
But you wanted to see me instead
So I got dressed

And I stepped out into the snow
And walked for a mile or so
Felt the rush of blood
Come from the cold, in my chest

Well ,you finally came to the door
And we talked for an hour or more
Until I asked if you would stay up till four
You said, "That's fine"

But you said, "There's something I have to say
And I can't because I'm just so afraid"
And so I held you as you started to shake
That night

Oh, my dear
I will wait for you
Grace tonight, will pull us through

Until the tears have left your eyes
Until the fear can sleep at night
Until the demons that you're scared of
Disappear inside

Until this guilt begins to crack
And the weight falls from your back
Oh, my dear
I'll keep you in my arms tonight

You slowly lifted your head from your hands
You said, "I just don't think that you'll understand
You'll never look at me that way again
If you knew what I did"

And so your tears fell and melted the snow
You told me secrets nobody had known
Oh, but I never loved you more
Even though now I knew what you did

Oh, my dear
I will wait for you
And grace tonight, will pull us through
Yeah, oh, my dear, I will wait for you
And grace tonight, will pull us through

Until the tears have left your eyes
Until the fears can sleep at night
Until the demons that you're scared of
Disappear inside

Until this guilt begins to crack
And the weight falls from your back
Oh, my dear
I'll keep you in my arms

Till the tears have left your eyes
Until the fears can sleep at night
Until the demons that you're scared of
Have disappeared inside

Until this guilt begins to crack
And the weight falls from your back
Well, oh, my dear
I'll keep you in my arms tonight

I'll keep you in my arms tonight
