He Holds Her, He Needs Her - Kitchens Of Distinction

Restless in the arms of the one she loved to hold

Pulling back as if to say I need space, let me alone

She cannot leave him being the man he is

When he holds her he tells her that he needs her

Restless in the arms of the one she loved to hold

Pulling back as if to say, I need space, let me alone

She wakes to the sound of growing fear outside

Inside there’s silence still the urgent need to leave

Beware my wings she’d say

My hundred eyes and changing skin

You cannot know me anymore

She’d frown and fly and out she’d go

What is it he asks.

Beware my wings she wants to say

Then she leans over and makes to tear them off

No more flying without you she says and laughs

He looks at her with stones in his eyes

Ease away the stones and let’s see what’s underneath

The things that pull us apart, the fears that pull love apart
