Gather Me Up

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Gather me up, like a handful of flowers Wipe my tears, like the morning dew Warm up my soul, like a soft cotton sweater And gather my heart, all up in you [Verse 2] I know we're walking down a hard road The waitin' and wonderin' what to do I need the brunt of your arms around me To gather my whole world up in you [Chorus] I wanna lay down next to you Under a desert moon, give myself to you Oh, hold nothing back, face every fear together Makin' each other better, 'til we're all we have [Post-Chorus] Gather me up like fresh shirts on a clothes line Whisper my name like a summer breeze Run with me to the sun melts, to the western Then gather the stars, like a blanket of dreams [Chorus] I wanna lay down next to you Under a desert moon, give myself to you Oh, hold nothing back, face every fear together Makin' each other better, 'til we're all we have [Post-Chorus] Gather me up like the train on a white dress Lay down your vows soft as snow Sing me your heart like God's Holy Angels Then gather me up so the whole world knows [Chorus] I wanna lay down next to you Under a desert moon, give myself to you Oh, hold nothing back, face every fear together Makin' each other better, 'til we're all we have [Outro] Gather me up in your arms and lay me down
