Those Loving Arms( Personification - Choka 5-7-7)
After all these years
We meet again in this place
Where, with you I dreamed my dreams
There - safe in your arms
As you held me through the years
Through the laughter and the tears
You and only you
Know the scars upon my soul
Know the pain this heart still holds
Now I find you here
In this old abandoned house
Alone but for memories
Rockers worn flat
Cracks upon your broken back
Arms still reaching out to me
