REFUGE

Cup your hands and hold my tears 
Just for a moment 
They're too heavy for me to bear 
And I'm so tired 
I can't take another step 
Not for my life, or a prayer 

If you would hold them for me 
Just till I catch my breath 
And mend my breaking heart 
I'll take all of them back 
Then you can go on your way 
But right now, 
Would you shelter my aches 
Till the storm is passed 

And the wind dies down
Would you, for a little while, 

Please open your arms
And let me stay?
