In My Arms - Rufus Wainwright

You gave me all your love in one day

You gave it all and almost faded away

Well I’m gonna take this sad unread issue

In my arms tonight

Looking at hospitals Victorian

Feeling as helpless as the Elephant Man

Wish you were here to chain you up without shame

In my arms tonight

So if you should feel a bit out of place

This vision not unlike a shooting star

I have embraced

'Cause

You gave me all your love in one day

You gave it all and almost faded away

Well I’m gonna take this sad unread issue

In my arms tonight

Looking at hospitals Victorian

Feeling as helpless as the Elephant Man

Wish you were here to chain you up without shame

In my arms tonight

I ain’t a soft and saccharine wannabe

Still I pray to God this song will end happily

So I offer you a place to rest

And forget yourself

In my arms tonight
