Hold a Torch Lyrics

I woke up this morning

To who, I didn't know

I called out your name

And you said, "hello"

Has It really been so long

Since I was in your eyes

Has it really been so soon

Since our first kiss good-bye

I'm going to the the mailbox

To send my pride away

I'm going to your window

To call your lovely name

The wind is from the north

And it's cold of course

Forgiveness on the breeze

While I

Hold a torch

I used to have your picture

I used to see your face

I used to see you walkin'

I used to see your grace

You said that you would never

And you walked out the door

Forgive me while I just

Pick my heart up off the floor

I tried my best to serve you

Where did I lose my way

I heard what you have said

And I will try to obey

I'm not alright

Thanks for asking

Thought of suicide

Just last weekend

But it's ok

I'm alright

Don't reply

Cause we all pretend

Like we don't feel

Sometimes

Which wouldn't be so hard

If I'd felt love before

A mother who had kissed me

Or held me a little more

You told me about your father

And your sister's dad too

All Your mother's lovers

How they all left you

Now they're getting old

Let's let their ways die

Let me sleep on your porch

And in the morning catch a ride

The wind is from the north

And it's cold of course

forgiveness on the breeze

While I

Hold a torch

The wind is from the north

And it's cold of course

forgiveness on the breeze

While I

Hold a torch

I

Hold a torch
