Ron Sexsmith · Other Songs - Ron Sexsmith
Beating when I can't understand
And everywhere I go
There's love at hand
Nowadays I feel your arms
Wrap around my fears in the night
And when I'm far away
I'm embraced in light
Used to be I felt so all alone
Used to be I dealt with panic on my own
Nowadays I see your face
Peering through the eye of a storm
It leads me to a place
That's safe and warm
Used to be I felt so all alone
Used to be I dealt with devils on my own
But nowadays I hear your song
Ringing through my heart and soul
And when I've had enough
Your love takes hold
I just throw my hands up
And your love takes hold
