The Beautiful South
"Loving Arms"

(T. Jans)
Originally performed by Etta James

If you could hear me now
The one who said that
she'd rather roam
The one who said
she'd rather be alone
If you could only hear me now

If I could hold you now
Just for a moment I could really make you mine
Just for a while turn back the hands of time
If I could only hold you now

Cause I've been too long
in the wind
And too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can

Looking back and hoping for
The freedom of my chains
And lying in your loving arms again

If you could see me now
Singing somewhere through the lonely night
And dreaming of the love that held me tight
If you could only see me now

Cause I've been too long in the wind
And too long in the rain
Taking any comfort that I can

Looking back and hoping for
The freedom of my chains
And lying in your loving arms again

I can almost feel your loving arms again
I can almost feel your loving arms again
