take me through this night
beloved friend
take me through this night
make sure it ends
guide me through the darkness
and the pain
show me sunshine after this hard rain
let your soft hand brush away my tears
faithful friend throughout these stormy years
chase away the shadows in my mind
blow the dust from my venetian blinds


no, i don\' t deserve your human touch
but i need it oh so very much
sweet togetherness and company
like a prisoner longing to be free
lamentations from a lonely cell
quench the painful flames of my own hell
pour your water on my burning soul
only tlc can make me whole
