Xavier Rudd - Before I Go lyrics

Before I go can I hold you close?
Because your light fills up my soul
And it's hard to explain the reasons why
Why I just need you by my side

Framed in the doorway by
The first morning light heart was heavy
Bags by his side she look over
She was trying hard to hide that
Hollow feeling she felt inside

Before I go can I hold you close?
Because your light fills up my soul
And it's hard to explain the reasons why
Why I just need you by my side

There's time to walk away
There was nothing left to say
She allowed that tear to finally
Trickle down her face
He turned and tipped his hat and said
'Now angel you be safe
Ain't nothing gonna take your place'

Before I go can I hold you close?
Because your light fills up my soul
And it's plain to see why
On these lonely nights
Why I just need you by my side

Sometimes it? when it rains
And you see the colours change
And the rainbow guides you home

Can I hold you close
Because that's the safest place
I've ever known
And it's plain to see on these lonely nights
Why I just need you by my side
