I need to hold your hand, please
While I open the curtains wide
I need the sunlight to help me ease
The cold unforgiving night
I’m scared and I need your hand, please
To help guide me to the window
Lest fate begins to jest and tease
And leaves me lying in the snow
I just need to know you’re there, dear
While I pull the curtains open
While I listen nervously for voices near
Vile and softly spoken
Please my love just give me your hand
I’m begging you from my knees
Kneeling here in the grit and sand
Help me open the curtains, please.
