the arms of a lonely woman
the safest of places to be
tightly wrapped around my chest
will they ever set me free
i'm a captive of her sadness
a prisoner of her shame
will I ever free myself
and live to live my name
it's warm where she keeps me hidden
and soft when she lays by my side
but in the arms of a lonely woman
there's no place left to hide
i ran from her one morning
and was gone for two years one day
she caught me with her long arms
and again with her i stay
the arms of a lonely woman
the safest of places to be
tightly wrapped around my chest
will they set me free
