Your whispers I can hear

Your whispers I can hear

Sleep without your parazyling fear,
Hold onto me, an anchor in your storm,
Your every breath, your whispers I can hear.

My finger gently wipes away your tear.
Cradles your shaking in my arms so warm:
Sleep without your paralyzing fear.

In all my life no person came so near...
Your words of love awoke a firestorm;
Your every breath, your whispers I can hear.

Stay with me, another night, another year,
I'll guard your sleep, I'll help you transform,
Sleep without your paralyzing fear.

Your heart and mine, they'll be united here,
In this warm bed new life for you will form.
Your every breath, your whispers I can hear.

I will watch over you, a hawk with eyes so clear,
Our love will lead you to reform.
Sleep without your paralyzing fear,
Your every breath, your whispers I can hear.
