COME TAKE MY HAND words and music by Lenny Solomon

© L. Solomon 2002

 

The door has been closed, the words have been spoken,

My heart has been lost to despair

Words seem so weak, they don’t soften the moment,

I find myself useless and bare.

 

Here now I stand, naked and tattered

Don’t care what morning will bring

Alone at the wheel, my ship has been battered

My eyes cannot focus to see.

          I need to rest my body, I need to rest my soul

          I need to find a way through this world

          I need to find dry land again, lift my heavy load

          Need to have my spirit unfurl

 

To my amazement, I saw her vision

As clear as if she were still here

She scolded my heartache with this admonition 

The living have nothing to fear

(Think of the) years we had together, those years we were at sea,

Sailing on waves of our lives

Finding out the answers, of what was meant to be

I’ll see you again when it’s time

 

She said, come take my hand and walk through the waters

Then wash away gently your tears

Travel though time, travel through distance,

And think of the memories of years

 

Come take my hand and walk through the waters

Then wash away gently your tears

Travel though time, travel through distance,

And think of the memories of years

 

Come take my hand as we walk through the waters

And think of the memories of years
