I needed it most, When I was eighteen But now that I'm older, I don't need many things Just someone to hold, That's what you give me When dark touches your skull baby, oh, babe, you can drop that on me So I say Lord, All the heavens you've made, Can't hold back the ghosts That haunt my baby and me Oh can't ye hold 'em back, From comin' on in, To a lovely woman, That just wants Her mind back again I will not crumble! What you want this to be Or bring peace of mind, If it ain't there to see Ah, if you don't know yourself, How could you ever know me But to have and to hold you, Yeah, that's the way its gotta be
