The Sky Fell Down

The sky fell down Then crashed around me My dreams all drowned Leaving me empty My blood ran cold A poisoned river White pain took hold My body shivered The sun was gone Leaving deep darkness No dusk or dawn Unbroken sadness I stared through eyes Blinded from sorrow With silent cries For lost tomorrows Until you held me in your arms That's all it took.... that's all I neeeeeed..... Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Give me the strength to live and trust Find some real answers, a new direction Hold me closely.... I need some affection..... Empty inside Swallowed emotions I was a shell Tossed within oceans Bruised to the core Edges undefined Washed up ashore In body and mind Until you held me in your ams That's all it took.... that's all I neeeeeed.... Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Give me the strength to live and trust Find some real answers, a new direction Hold me closely.... I need some affection..... Reach out to me and hold me tight Help me to get through one more night One more night.... just hold me tight Help me make it through another night Until you held me in your arms That's all it took.... that's all I neeeeeed.... Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Give me the strength to live and trust Find some real answers, a new direction Hold me closely.... I need some affection..... Ashes to ashes, dust to dust Give me the strength to live and trust Find some real answers, a new direction Hold me closely.... I need some affection..... Jane Shields (C)
