Gather me up like a handful of flowers
Wipe my tears like the morning dew
Warm up my soul like a soft cotton sweater
And gather my heart all up in you

I know we're walking down a hard road
The waiting and wondering what to do
I need the brunt of your arms around me
To gather my whole world up in you

I wanna lay down next to you
Under a desert moon, give myself to you
Oh, hold nothing back, face every fear together
Making each other better, 'til we're all we have

Gather me up like fresh shirts on a clothes line
Whisper my name like a summer breeze
Run with me 'til the sun melts to the western
Then gather the stars like a blanket of dreams

I wanna lay down next to you
Under a desert moon, give myself to you
Oh, hold nothing back, face every fear together
Making each other better, 'til we're all we have

Gather me up like the train on a white dress
Lay down your vows soft as snow
Sing me your heart like Gods Holy Angels
Then gather me up so the whole world knows

I wanna lay down next to you
Under a desert moon, give myself to you
Oh, hold nothing back, face every fear together
Making each other better, 'til we're all we have

Gather me up in your arms and lay me down
