Lovely Person

Lovely person dwell with me
                                    Help me find a world so free
                                    Hold me in your gentle arms
                                  Protect me from this world's harm
                               I need you so to comfort me
                               To walk and talk and hear my plea

                        My heart is wounded I'm lonely and lost
                              Tossed in a pit with walls of salt
                      And each time i try to escape from my sorrow
                 The salt stings my wounds unhealed for the morrow
                                   That is why i'm sad with grief
                      Mellowed and withered like an autumn leaf

                              Take me with you wherever you go
                            Teach me to love and cleanse my soul
                               Answer me, with your mystical powers
                                Oh, you my love, my heart requires
                            So to the world i cry out this plea
                              Lovely person  dwell with me.
