Lyrics

Protection

[Verse 1]

When you hold me

And you're kneeling down

What you told me

I believe it darling

[Chorus]

I lie awake hoping baby

Glide my way and save me

Save me

[Verse 2]

When you’re talking

And you lead me down

What you taught me

Are you breathing now?

What did you say?

Say

[Chorus]

I lie awake hoping baby

Glide my way and save me

Save me

I lay awake hoping baby

[Bridge]

Hold me baby

Hold me baby

[Chorus]

I lie awake hoping baby

You'll glide my way to save me

Save me

I lie awake hoping baby

Save me

Savе me

[Outro]

Hold me baby

Hold me baby
