The Secret Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My protection from what harms
You will reach for me on our darkest days
And I will come home to your arms
And I will hold you dear
While my shadow′s long and my eyes are clear
I know these days will pass away
Oh, blessed mother and the father I adore
There is time upon your faces
I will cherish you until you leave me for your eternal holy places
And I will hold you dear
While my shadow's long and my eyes are clear
I know these days will pass away
So, I will hold you dear
You′re a part of me and the one I love
The sweetest years won't tarry
You will reach for me when my arms are full
And I will lay down the things I carry
And I will hold you dear
While my shadow's long and my eyes are clear
I know these days will pass away
So, I will hold you dear
I know these days will pass away
So, I will hold you dear
