If you could see me now
The water said that he would rather roam
The water said he'd rather be alone
If you could only see me now


If I could hold you now
Just for a moment if I could really make you mine
Just for a while turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now


* I've been too long in the wind
Too long in the rain
Takin' any comfort that I can
Lookin' back and longing for the freedom of my chains
And lying in your loving arms again


If you could hear me now
Singing somewhere in the lonely night
Dreaming of the arms that held me tight
If you could only hear me now


Oh
* Repeat
I can almost feel your lovin' arms again
