Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey you out there alone in the snow
Hey you won′t you come inside for the cold
Let me warm you in my embrace
Let me touch your tired cold face
Hey you you know you don't have to go it alone
Hey you when you need I′ll be right along
Hey you haunted by time quickly passing by
Hey you I'll always be here by your side of
Don't you know
You′re not alone
Wish you could be getting a brand new start
In another place in another time
But can′t you feel that like me
You were born into love
When you're down the whole world is down with you
There′s nothing I can't help you carry on
Let the clouds in and feel the rain
Let the teardrops wash down your face
Hey you wait in my arms till the morning comes
Hey you you are the love you will see the light
Don′t you know you're not alone
Wish you could be getting a brand new start
In another place another time
Can′t you feel that like me
You were born into love
When you're down the whole world is down with you
There's nothing I can′t help you carry on and
But can′t you feel that like me
You were born into love




When you're down the whole world is down with you
There′s nothing I can't help you carry on
