"These arms that hold you" Down in the shadows of your deepest secrets I sleep next to the precepts you hold most dear Your heart is in my province, hour upon hour I shiver when you feel the cold Everything you say I hear Like a bomb and its fuse We bring bright light But I could be a devil to you I could bite like a tarantula Right through the skin And leave my poison drippin' Deliciously unsuspecting Protecting you from all harm Except perhaps from these arms That hold you
