Tonight, when you wake up
Before you blink the sleep out of those hollow eyes
And taste the last sour traces of last night
Before you stretch and start to rise
Remember someone waits for you
Out there, in a dark room
Chorus:
Caution, and believe in nothing but the dull throb of my heart
Others will lie but I am true
Tonight, as you wash up
Before you pull clothes on over those long limbs
And make sure that everything appeals to the eye
Before you step out and lock your door
Remember someone looks for you
Out here, in a dark room
Chorus:
Caution, and believe in nothing but the dull throb of my heart
Others will lie but I am true
I am true
I will carry you through hell and high water
Do anything for you
Caution, my childI will protect you from their slings
I will watch you as you leave my wombIf you believe
Chorus
