He Took You in His Arms
He took you in his arms
By the baths just past the dirt track
I said wait till the morning
And then I'll go there with you
Why did you go, why did you go?

He took you in his arms
I only got the news
After maybe an hour or two
Why did you go, why did you go?

He took you from my arms into the dark
I found your homework in the park
The neighbours in the streets
But no one ever says the things they're thinking

He took you in his arms
Someone said they'd seen you at the shops
I said eyes will always open
For the things that want to see
He took you in his arms
He took you in his arms
Took you in his arms
He took you in his arms
Took you in his arms
He took you in his arms
He took you from my arms into the dark
I found your homework in the park
The neighbours in the streets
But no one ever says the things they're thinking
No one ever shares the thoughts they're fearing
No one ever shares the sinking feeling
He took you in his arms
He took you in his arms
Took you in his arms
He took you in his arms
Took you in his arms
He took you in his arms
