PICK ME UP

PICK ME UP

Can I rest my weary head on you?

There is nowhere else to be

Just hear your heart, hear it to

Beat its steady beat for me

Can we be so quiet here?

There is nothing I can say

No words in me, so much fear

You cannot make it go away

Just be for a while, just be

So I can sleep, not be afraid

Because I know that I'll badly

Need every soothing thing you said

To feel that I am still alive

That I am worth to be around

That I am here with you, I've

Won this time, feel ground.
