Death can wait outside

All I ask
and all I need
is you beside me.
Not a task
and not a deed,
just you beside me.
Let me cling
to something real,
hold my hand
and let me feel
the strength of life in you.
It's the end,
the final seal,
let me say my last goodbye in you.

So please be polite
and turn off the night,
let's put outer darkness aside.
and let's burn this flight,
to your inner light,
death can wait outside.

Not a fear
and not a sigh,
just you beside me.
Not a fear
and not a cry,
just you beside me.
Let me fall
into your arms,
spare the love
and all the charms
that made me link to you.
In your tide the waves are warm...
sacred fever, it's the fire from you.
