He Took You in His Arms - Bill Ryder-Jones

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
