When You Were Mine

Touch my heart
So that I may
That I may
Be your companion

The burden is light
Like your kiss
And sure
Like the winding path to your door
We will remain at the footing
To shelter the ones
Who we dare to see
Who we dare to know
Who we dare to touch

Just stop once
And be open
To the trouble
