              Am
And when the late summer lightning fires off in your arms

Am
Will I remember to breathe?

No I never will

       Am
And if I could convince you that I mean you no harm

And in your prime

Would I rock you to sleep

Would you tell all the secrets you don't need to keep

Or would you then have been mine
