Your tenderness surrounds my life like a golden thread
Breathing life into me like wind to the mountaintops; screaming
There is love to be kept on this road ahead
Feelings of affection grow up out of fires of dread
Anticipation keeps me alive every day, so does knowing that
Your tenderness surrounds my life like a golden thread
I seek your attention with a child’s selfishness and shed
Tears of hot fire and pain because I cannot bear to forget
There is love to be kept on this road ahead
And I know no matter how many new paths I tread
I can feel your hand in my hand, your lips against mine because
Your tenderness surrounds my life like a golden thread
And all that is surreal stays alive inside my head
Falling slowly from one moment of remembrance to the next since
There is love to be kept on this road ahead
And I’ll fly on cold nights with you, far beyond my warm bed
Be all you look for, be all that makes you content because
Your tenderness surrounds my life like a golden thread
And there is love to be kept on this road ahead
