For My Heart's Sake

The light is fading, the night is near.
Make peace with your daytime, come on over here.
So much pretending, but I'm through being tough.
If I can't have all of you, I still might get enough
for my heart's sake.

These years together I've watched you grow.
You still sweep me up, and I think you know.
But there's still this corner where I keep my fears,
and that's why your faith in me can move me to tears
for my heart's sake.

We've been lost in the shuffle, dowsing golden fires.
But there's no acquisition to quench this desire.
So much is on us to be kept from harm,
but right now all I want to be is the man in your arms.
For my heart's sake...

The sun is rising, the night is through.
Nothin's gonna happen to me better than you.
I've been to that dark place, and I'll go back again.
But nothin' gets me home like your hands on my skin,
for my heart's sake.
