lyrics

Although I am often tired, whether sorrow, whether denial
From the moment I fell in arms, she always welcome my Lily of the Nile

I am lost, some might say but she's there calling out my name
No need to reply, she moves in and holds her heart with mine.

There is hollow that often teases me with sickness for none to see
And yet she says there is pride to be in a certain someone's quiet company.

I am lost, certain days when I fear in a bitterness of ways
No need to be kind, she moves in and holds her heart with mine.

I am lost, it's never said, she knows when I'm in my head
No need to be fine, she moves in and holds her heart with mine.
