Dark Skies

100%

I don't need a perfect lover to hold me in the rain
Someone to ease my pain when I feel blue
If I lost you to another think I'd drown out here for sure
Won't you stay with me and be my only cure

Dark skies may cloud my day but that don't bother me
As long as I can hold you close to me

I don't need a part-time lover to leave me in the cold
With empty arms to hold when I need you
Tell me that there is no other send the cold wind from my door
Give you all my love and more if you want me to
