I Give You Mine

it once was have but never hold
used to leave me in the cold
I give you mine to leave or take
to wrap in love or give heartache

if ever there is any doubts
what you put in is what you take out
invest it all for a rainy day
it will shine when the sky is gray

steady baby, so few come and don't go
will you won't you, be the one I always know
can you build on this? a lasting tabernacle
light my way without snuffing the candle?

what I give to make your own
will make you smile when you're alone
I offer mine to leave or take
to wrap in love or give heartache
