A Tender Lovin' Hold

from My Songs and Others' by Willy Gantrim

/

lyrics

I've seen friends come and go like the leaves that were green in the spring/Then a snow and they blow, and they leave and I wish them better things/down the line where the battle horns ring/in the dawn of metallic whores that sing just to hear each other sing

I've seen battling the night crosses blazing in the blazoned burning fields/just a naked flicking light 'neath a thousand stars commanding it to yield/with a fate of unsacredness all sealed/only thing it can do is flame out in hopes of being healed

I've seen lacking in all words all the sweetness that a memory can hold/like a song that I once heard of the fleetness of two feet helped from the cold/ragged scars, dust, and bloodiness of old/all defined, justified, and purified by a tender loving hold
