Armour

Blue Rodeo

She took everything she owned 
threw it out in the rain 
walked away from that life she won't go back again 
had enough of people's lies enough of their blame 
she made a promise to herself she won't get fooled again 

Don't know why things come to me and why they disappear 
I only know that living changed when she got here 
I reached out my hand wiped the rain from her face 
the look she gave me stopped me cold held me in my place 

When I look into her eyes growing wild 
what I see is such a wounded child 

No matter what you're hiding 
what you want to keep inside you 
I am hiding too 
and we'll take a step somehow 
lay down your armour now 
and I'll come to you 

I know a fall is coming but it hasn't happened yet 
can't believe what I keep inside and what I can't forget 
the sun paints the evening sky and then it's gone 
I can't say I can save you but I swear I won't leave you alone 

Every night I listen to the silence in your heart 
I never want to see you that torn apart 

No matter what you're hiding 
what you want to keep inside you 
I've been hiding too 
and we'll take a step somehow 
lay down your armour now 
I'll come to you 
come to you 
come to you
