The quiet city in the midst of battle
falls into a brief slumber.
I'll send a prayer-filled melody
to where you dream underneath the far-away stars.
Come over here. I'll hold
your sadness and your tears for you
until you forget all the pain.
[Instrumental]
If strength is living in conflict
Then I don't care if they call me weak.
Why do people hurt each other?
Even though there's certainly strength in loving...
Even though anyone would be lonely alone...
[Instrumental]
Come over here. I'll hold
your worn out love, your heart
until you forget all the pain.
Goodnight, goodnight... On my chest
