when you came to me
crying from a dream
feeling so small
my baby. i held you in my arms
kissed away the harm
from your last fall
my baby. suddenly you see
how it's meant to be
when you stand tall
my baby. you and i know
flowers only grow
when the rain falls
my baby. like a runaway train
like your face in the rain
like a star so far away
you can't know from where it came. like the winter snow
like the way you know
by the way we said good bye on the day of our first hello
i will love you. sleep beneath the moon
watching it consume a new day
my baby. though your eyes are tired
from wanting with desire in a new way
my baby. lying with you seems like waking from a dream
when you say
my baby. everything before left me wanting more
so i'll stay
your baby. like a runaway train
like your face in the rain
like a star so far away
you can't know from where it came. like the winter snow
like the way you know
by the way we said good bye on the day of our first hello
i will love you. still you are holding on
to memories that are gone
while i need
my baby. and i can try to make
you give me what you take
but i don't steal
my baby. so if you wanna show
how you really know what i feel
my baby. then let me start a new memory with you
and let us heal
my baby. like a runaway train
like your face in the rain
like a star so far away
you can't know from where it came. like the winter snow
like the way you know
by the way we said good bye on the day of our first hello
i will love you.
