Xavier Rudd - Before I Go Lyrics

Before I go can I hold you close?
'Cause 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?
'Cause 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, said, "Angel, now you be safe,
There ain't nothing ever gonna take your place."

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

Sometimes you feel down when it rains
And you see the colors change
And the rainbow guides you home

Can I hold you close?
'Cause 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
