One of those songs that was written in the depths of despair. Pretty much the definition of 'a cry for help'
Past the storms of my own making
through the tempest dark within
I have sought for safe passage
I have longed for journey's end
But with my heart as guide and compass
I have often lost my way
So now I reach to you for solace
I reach out to you and say
Hide me safe within your harbor
Be my anchor in the dark
Let me ride the storms in safety
Within the harbor of your heart
Take my spirit as your cargo
Keeping only the best part
And let me ride the storms in safety
Within the harbor of your heart
I have been my own worst nightmare
As I jump from port to port
Seeking something to believe in
And finding nothing of the sort
And now I see I need assistance
To believe within my self
So I reach out to you for solace
I reach out for your good help
Hide me safe within your harbor
Be my anchor in the dark
Let me ride the storms in safety
Within the harbor of your heart
Take my spirit as your cargo
Keeping only the best part
And let me ride the storms in safety
Within the harbor of your heart
And I don't like to load you down
with troubles not your own
In the future we'll stand together
But right now I can't stand alone
And I won't pretend that it's forever
For what journey truly ends
But right now I need your comfort
Right now I need a friend
And I make to you this promise
In the middle of it all
That I'll return to you this favor
Should you reach my port of call
Hide me safe within your harbor
Be my anchor in the dark
Let me ride the storms in safety
Within the harbor of your heart
Take my spirit as your cargo
Keeping only the best part
And let me ride the storms in safety
Within the harbor of your heart
