You Can Count On Me

I can't tell, can't tell what's on your mind 
When you stare out that window for such a long , long time
Oh what's on your mind
I ask you to explain, and you just look away
You look so far away
It's like a hole has opened up within your soul 
And you climb inside for days, you lock yourself away
Don't lock yourself away 

Baby don't shut me out 
Baby we can work it out 
Whatever it may be
You can count on me 
Share your soul with me 
You can count on me 

Love ain't always a passion's spell
Baby don't you know, I wish it could be so
To make it last, to make it stay
We cannot run the other way and hide
Hide away our souls
I give myself to you, in everything I do
My heart and soul for you
Don't sharpen the barbs of love
Help me know you my dear love
We can work this through

Baby don't shut me out 
Baby we can work it out 
Whatever it may be
You can count on me 
Share your soul with me 
You can count on me 

Love reckons hours for months, days for the years
And every absence is an age
Help me paint an endless love, paint a deathless love
Let's fill an endless page

Baby don't shut me out 
Baby we can work it out 
Whatever it may be 
You can count on me 
Share your soul with me 
You can count on me
