lyrics

in days of storm and wild winds
when phones won't ring and fears creep in
in cold dark nights with windows broken
long lost dreams of words unspoken

if you feel lonely or afraid
if someone left you in the rain
if the road is long and you've got no lift
i'll send with you a simple wish

may your back stay strong enough
in the night with a broken wing
to bend when each piece needs raising up

may your memory hold tight
those past distant times when
it looked all wrong, but finally turned out fine

tight balled fists and solemn face
when every top will spin away
you've lost your shirt to everyone
you've lost your lovers to the sun

then tied things down with breaths we breathe
ground under your feet accelerating
you try to sing but croak a noise
of confusion with a broken voice

if you feel lonely or afraid
if someone left you in the rain
if the journey's long and you're on your own
i'll send a wish to guide you home

may your secrets all be shared
in close quarters where
you feel no need to hide from those who care

may your fires stay contained
and leave you warmth to spare
to cast a bit of brightness to the air

may your sadness only stay
for the shortest day
and may you soon feel it fall away
