She lays by her bedside her head in her hands
Surrounded by pillows that are stained full of tears
She's ragged and lonely about out of strength
She's been up all night and the pain just won't go away
Well he gave her flowers when they were in school
He said all the right things and he played it cool
But the lies that he told her keep coming around
To drown out tomorrow and to burn her world to the ground
And she doesn't know it but I know her pain
And when this ole world knocks her down to the ground
It kills me the same
Cause I'm dreaming of her to have and to hold
To wrap her up tightly and to keep her out of the cold
Well people are talking and they'll say what they say
But it's harder to stomach with a babe on the way
They're armed and they're ready to stone her to death
As she draws her head back and prepares to take her last breath
And she doesn't know it but I know she's scared
And when this ole world knocks her down to the ground
I'll be right there
Cause I'm dreaming of her to have and to hold
To wrap her up tightly and to keep her out of the cold
Yeah I don't care where
Where she has been
What she has done
Or got herself in
Cause I'm dreaming of her to have and to hold
To wrap her up tightly and to keep her out of the cold
Yeah I'm gonna love her and keep her out of the cold
