Lyrics My Love, My Love - Julia Holter

My Love, My Love

My love, my love I will watch you
I watch you, watch you grow
From a child of shimmer
To a goddess of the snow
To a goddess of the snow
My love, my love I’ll listen to you cry
I’ll hear you weep so softly
Far away from the place where I lie
Far away from the place where I lie
My love, my love I’ll make a promise
That strong shall never fade
We will build upon a foundation
That our hearts and heads have made
That our hearts and heads have made
I will follow I will follow your winding trail
I’ll carry your weight for ever
Together we shall not fail
Together we shall not fail
My love, my love I will hold you
I hold you while the cold winds blow
The darkness will pound upon the rooftop
But the light will come I know
But the light will come I know
My love, my love I will see you
I will see you break free from your past
It’s hell not be left to linger
For nothing of guilt can last
For nothing of guilt can last
My love, my love I will find you
I will find you in a great garden
I will come to you upon my knees
Like a beggar seeking pardon
Like a beggar seeking pardon
My love, my love I will remember
I will remember your beautiful love
Swirling through the meadow
I will not pass up my chance
I will not pass up my chance
My love, my love I will play you
Softly like an ancient lute
I will whisper so only you can hear
That my love has laid its root
That my love has laid its root
My love, my love I will inhale you
As the wind of the summer past
Through my soul your spirit flowing
While this youth slips away so fast
While this youth slips away so fast
My love, my love I will hear you
I will hear you softly sing
Upon a morning cold and bright
I will hand you a golden ring
I will hand you a golden ring
My love, my love I will touch you
I will touch you where none can see
The night will explode all around us
And through it we shall be free
And through it we shall be free
My love, my love I will catch you if you should stumble
We will walk away with no regret
So proud so young so humble
So proud so young so humble
My love, my love I will protect you
I will protect you from all your fear
You shall forget your troubles
When close I draw you near
When close I draw you near
