Meet Me By

Meet me by the still, cool lake
Upon the cold, soft sand.
Sit down on the dock with me
And in silence, hold my hand.

Kiss me as the breeze does blow
Through my gentle hair.
Love me as we part again
For stay we do not dare.

Keep me warm in your arms
As the water slaps against our feet.
Let me know I'm dearly loved
By promising again to meet.

Softly whisper in my ear
Of love so brave and true.
Look me in the eyes and
Say to me, "I'll forever love you."

Allow me to on your shoulder cry
Of woes and troubles deep,
For I require healing
From deep within heart's keep.

My lands lie in drought
Brought by lack of rain.
Give me hope, lift my soul
And my trust shall you attain.

My walls are guarded closely,
With watchmen at every gate.
They keep the false ones out
While I search for my mate.

So meet in the briar patch
Or kiss me in the wood.
I've come running to your arms
While forever here you've stood.
