Broken whisper I can hear you crying tonight Empty words and arms can't make it alright You've run out of questions without answers to hold For the cold caress of helplessness inside you But let me comfort you Comfort you You're losing hope in little memories everyday The red hairs on the floor are being swept away Well I can't fix what's broken but I'll hold the pieces in place Just let me put my loving arms around you And let me comfort you Comfort you We'll load your gun with silver bullets To kill the monsters in your room A kiss to wash the ashes from your mouth Your bleeding knees of prayer Pressed lips against your heart Dance with your shadow in the open doorway lights I'll protect you as you lay there helpless in sleep From the heartbreaking flowers in the Magnolia trees Don't let your life forget to forgive what it has done Don't let it take the love left inside you And let me comfort you Comfort you
