hold so tightly

cold cold water surrounds me now
and all i've got is your hand
lord can you hear me now?
or am i lost?
no one's daughter allow me that
and I can't let go of your hand
lord, can you hear me now?
or am i lost?
don’t you know i love you
and I always have
hallelujah
will you come with me?
cold cold water surrounds me now
and all i've got is your hand
lord.. can you hear me?
or am i lost?

Damien Rice, "Cold Water," O

----------------------------------

i hold so tightly to your hand
because then I know you're there
your love denies my emptiness
and reminds me of God's grace

i hold so tightly to your memory
because when you're not there
your love affirms my strength
and reminds me of God's face

i hold so tightly to your hand
because when the cold water rises
your love keeps me afloat
and reminds me of God's grace
