when i’ve lost my way
and i can’t turn back
when my fears are breakin
i’m under attack
when i’m down and i’m achin
will you come and rescue me?

when my dreams have fallen
and i can’t sleep
when the rivers are running
down both my cheeks
when i’m small and i’m shakin
will you come and rescue me?

carry me
to your safety
i will die in your caress
wash my body
lay me down
brush my knotted hair
i’ll let you
i won’t fight back tonight
i won’t fight back tonight
i won’t fight back tonight

when i’ve held so long
and i must let go
when i’m driving the wrong way
down a one-way road
when i can’t find my answers
will you come and rescue me

when my touch is cold
and i’m filled with dread
i’m tearing hairs out of my head
when i’m that little girl crawling into your bed
rescue me

carry me
to your safety
i’ll die in your caress
wash my body
lay me down
brush my knotted hair
i’ll let you
i won’t fight back tonight
i won’t fight back tonight
