[Verse 1]
I came in worn and low
With mud on both my shoes
You looked at me so kind
Like you knew my old blues
Your hand touched mine
And the dark turned blue
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "Baby, stay right here"
And the whole room leaned in
I was half a man
Till your light got under my skin
[Chorus]
Your love held me close
Held me close
Your love held me close
And I came back home
(held me close)
[Verse 2]
By the train yard fence
I used to lose my way
Now your name on my tongue
Keeps the wolves away
You pour right through me
Like a Sunday wave
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "Baby, stay right here"
And the whole room leaned in
I was half a man
Till your light got under my skin
[Chorus]
Your love held me close
Held me close
Your love held me close
And I came back home
(held me close)
[Bridge]
When the river ran cold
You kept my fire alive
When my hands were empty
You gave me back my life
Oh, I was falling
Then you pulled me through
Now every scar I carry
Sings I belong to you
[Final Chorus]
Your love held me close
Held me close
Your love held me close
And I came back home
(held me close)
Your love held me close
Held me close
Your love held me close
And I came back home
(home)
