Cradle Me
Scott Bennett
Cradle me with arms of weakness
Ease my mind with words of doubt
Stroke my head with callused fingers
Let me in but keep me out
Tell me how you’ve been where I’ve been
All the same destruction sights
Show me how you’ve also seen the
Sun come out at night
Sing for me a lullagoodbye
In a weary Sarah Vaughn
Tell me you will always love me
But tomorrow please be gone
I’m alive but hardly kicking
Got a broken peace of mind
Heart’s been beaten but it’s still ticking
Out the time
Oh this time
I just need a friend tonight
Could it be we’ve both been trying
(Cradle me with arms of weakness)
To sweeten the same sour notes
(Ease my mind with words of doubt)
Could it be we’re soul inmates
(Cradle me with arms of weakness)
Drifting in the same life boat
Castaway
