My Love, My Love - Julia Holter

My love, my love I will watch you

I watch you, watch you grow

From a child of shimmer

To a goddess of the snow

To a goddess of the snow

My love, my love I’ll listen to you cry

I’ll hear you weep so softly

Far away from the place where I lie

Far away from the place where I lie

My love, my love I’ll make a promise

That strong shall never fade

We will build upon a foundation

That our hearts and heads have made

That our hearts and heads have made

I will follow I will follow your winding trail

I’ll carry your weight for ever

Together we shall not fail

Together we shall not fail

My love, my love I will hold you

I hold you while the cold winds blow

The darkness will pound upon the rooftop

But the light will come I know

But the light will come I know

My love, my love I will see you

I will see you break free from your past

It’s hell not be left to linger

For nothing of guilt can last

For nothing of guilt can last

My love, my love I will find you

I will find you in a great garden

I will come to you upon my knees

Like a beggar seeking pardon

Like a beggar seeking pardon

My love, my love I will remember

I will remember your beautiful love

Swirling through the meadow

I will not pass up my chance

I will not pass up my chance

My love, my love I will play you

Softly like an ancient lute

I will whisper so only you can hear

That my love has laid its root

That my love has laid its root

My love, my love I will inhale you

As the wind of the summer past

Through my soul your spirit flowing

While this youth slips away so fast

While this youth slips away so fast

My love, my love I will hear you

I will hear you softly sing

Upon a morning cold and bright

I will hand you a golden ring

I will hand you a golden ring

My love, my love I will touch you

I will touch you where none can see

The night will explode all around us

And through it we shall be free

And through it we shall be free

My love, my love I will catch you if you should stumble

We will walk away with no regret

So proud so young so humble

So proud so young so humble

My love, my love I will protect you

I will protect you from all your fear

You shall forget your troubles

When close I draw you near

When close I draw you near
