For Her Love

She was holdin' on so tight But why do we still have to say goodbye? She's all alone tonight There's nothin' I could do to make it right Is it ever gonna be, ever gonna be brighter? Is it ever gonna be, ever gonna be easier? Hold her tonight Oh, God, would you hold her tonight? 'Cause I'm not there to stay close Keep watch, tell her she's not alone Hold her tonight We're apart but not alone My love for her is more than she could know A secret place only we can go And we'll laugh while we will hope until we're home Is it ever gonna be, ever gonna be brighter? Is it ever gonna be, ever gonna be easier? Hold her tonight Oh, God, would you hold her tonight? 'Cause I'm not there to stay close Keep watch, tell her she's not alone Hold her tonight Steady on, steady on, my love This shall soon pass Steady on, steady on, my love This shall soon pass Steady on, steady on, my love This shall soon pass Steady on, steady on, my love Hold her tonight Oh, God, would you hold her tonight? 'Cause I'm not there to stay close Keep watch, tell her again she's not alone Hold her tonight Hold her tonight Oh, God, would you hold her tonight? 'Cause I'm not there to stay close Keep watch, tell her she's not alone Stay close, keep watch, tell her she's not alone Hold her tonight

I'm a lover 'Cause I can't help myself A natural mother Since the day that I fell Not a martyr I'm just someone who cares So dig a little bit deeper And be a little bit kinder And a lot less guarded 'Cause it takes, it takes It takes a lot of hard work To get a whole lot stronger 'Cause it's real tough, girl Why can't we be together? Why can't we love for her? Wish I could go back And tell my younger self "You're a fighter You just don't know it yet" So dig a little bit deeper And be a whole lot louder And a lot less guarded 'Cause it takes, it takes It takes a lot of hard work To get a whole lot stronger 'Cause it's real tough, girl Why can't we be together? Why can't we love for her? Stand up, show love for her, for her Stand up, show up for her, for her Stand up, show love for her, for her Stand up, show up for her, for her Why can't we be together? Why can't we love for her? So dig a little bit deeper And be a whole lot kinder And a lot less guarded 'Cause it takes, it takes It takes a lot of hard work To get a whole lot stronger 'Cause it's real tough, girl Stand up, show love Stand up, show up Stand up, show love For her, for her Stand up, show love For her, for her Stand up, show up For her, for her Oh, stand up Oh, stand up for her

And through the life force and there goes her friend On her Nishiki, it's out of time And through the portal they can make amends Hey, would you say whatever, we're blanket friends Can't stop what's coming Can't stop what is on its way And through the walls they made their mud pies I've got your mind I said, she said I've your voice I said you don't need my voice, girl, you have your own But you never thought it was enough of So they went years and years Like sisters, blanket, blanket girls Always there through that and this There's nothing we cannot ever fix I said Can't stop what's coming Can't stop what is on its way Hey can't stop what's coming Can't stop what is on its way Bells and footfalls and soldiers and dolls Brothers and lovers she and I were Now she seems to be sand under his shoes There's nothing I can do Can't stop what's coming Can't stop what is on its way Can't stop what's coming Can't stop what is on its way And now I speak to you, are you in there? You have her face and her eyes but you are not her And we go at each other like blank ettes Who can't find their, their thread and their bare Can't stop, can't stop loving you Can't stop loving Can't stop what is on its way And I see it coming And it's on its way

Look at how feathered his cocks are See how seamless his frocks are Look at his paper-beating over that rock-star Look at how long she walks and how far Was she lost? Or Maybe she was not for Travelling in the stock car, anymore Maybe she spent her formative years Dealing with his contentious fears And endless jeers and her endless tears Well maybe she's got tired of watching him Sniff white off a starlet's breast Treating his wife like less than a guest Getting his girl to clean up his mess Never showing weakness unless it's a ward's season It's the season of the ward And she's trying to cut the cord She's tired of planting her knees On the cold, hard floor of, facts Trying to act like the other girl acts And your strike may have been exact But you know that you never really go to the mat You tie everything all pretty in the second act When you know that it didn't go exactly like that You arrive and drive by like a sauced up bat Like you know you should know But you don't know where it's at Like you know you should know But you don't know where it's at Like you know you should know But you don't know where it's at You arrive and drive by like a sauced up bat Like you know you should know But you don't know where it's at You arrive and drive by like a sauced up bat Like you know you should know But you don't know where it's at Like you know, you should know But you don't know what you did Like you know, you should know What happened when I came to bed Like you know, you should know But you don't know Like you know, you should know But you don't know Like you know, you should know But you don't know what you did Well, good morning Good morning You raped me in the same bed your daughter was born in Good morning Good morning (Like you know, you should know) (But you don't know) (Like you know, you should know) (But you don't know) (Like you know, you should know) (But you don't know) You were so high You were so high You were so high

Like the water flows Like the flowers grow To far corners of the Earth Like the winter's cold And the summer scolds Is my humble hymn for her My hymn for her Hmm-mm-mm-hmm-mm-mm Oh, the aster blooms Under pearly moon Where the poets choose their verse She's the autumn air She is everywhere Oh, this is my hymn for her My hymn for her My soul has stirred I'm speaking tongues Am I worth of her love? She's the weaving road That'll lead me home And the story 'thout an end But I must find them first All the sweetest words For my hymn for her Amen
