hold my hand

it's getting dark
i'm getting cold
it's getting late here
i'm getting old

i've been walking for a while
trying to find a way back home
i've forgotten what it's like to smile
because i've gotten used to being alone

i'm still determined, though
keeping an eye out for you
i guess i just can't let it go
i want to see it through

i want to hold your hand
if only for one night
i hope you won't misunderstand
i just want to feel alright

i won't ask for anything more
than to hold your hand in mine
forgive the scars there from before
that i've collected over time

i've never found true love before
i don't think i ever will
perhaps the future has in store
a lost love for me still

i know you have to go soon
but i wish it wasn't so
the ending of this dream doth loom
the moon has lost its glow

the warmth of your hand fades away
as does your quiet smile
with you is where i wish to stay
just for a little while

but my eyes have opened now
i am alone here in this land
i'll find you again, though i don't know how
and i'll ask to hold your hand...
