Just to Hold You.
Capo 2
V1
Oh you know me, by reputation
Some have called me a storm about to break.
But if you take me, not forsake me,
I ll hand you my heart in a Golden Cage.
For I ll love you, with reckless abandon,
And I ve loved you like that from the start.
It s my good fortune just to know you.
Your eyes put wildness in my heart.
Chorus:
Down from the Mountains we come like thunder.
I ve lain to long where the cold river runs.
Just to know you, just to flow with you,
Just to grow with you, to reap and sew with you.
Just to hold you when your hairs undone.
V2
Out in the badlands, I am an outlaw,
but I stand on the words of Saint Paul.
Though we speak like angels and gain the whole world,
If we don t have love, we have nothing at all.
So if you ll take me, not forsake me.
If you ll help me just as I am.
I will love you beyond forever, and,
Pledge to you my heart on sacred ground.
Chorus:
Down from the Mountains we come like thunder.
I ve lain to long where the cold river runs.
Just to know you, just to flow with you,
Just to grow with you, to reap and sew with you.
Just to hold you when your hairs undone.
Instrumental
V3
If I displease you and you don t want me.
I still wish you love for love is blessed.
Nothing greater, upon your journey, and,
rest assured we need to take nothing less.
Chorus:
Down from the Mountains we come like thunder.
I ve lain to long where the cold river runs.
Just to know you, just to flow with you,
Just to grow with you, to reap and sew with you.
Just to hold you when your hairs undone.
(repeat)
Just to hold you when your hairs undone.
