Be Here To Love Me Lyrics - Our Mother The Mountain - Townes Van Zandt

Your eyes seek conclusion in all this confusion of mine 

Though you and I both know it's only the warm glow of wine 

That's got you to feel in this way 

But I don't care I want you to stay 

And hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today 

The children are dancin', the gamblers are chancin' their all 

The window's accusing the door of abusing the wall 

But who cares what the night watchmen say 

The stage has been set for the play 

So just hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today 

The moon's come and gone but a few stars hang on on to the sky 

Well, the wind's runnin' free though it ain't up to me, ask why 

But the poets are demanding their pay 

An' they've left me with nothin' to say 

'Cept hold me and tell me you'll be here to love me today 

Just hold me and tell me that you'll be here to love me today
