Blue Rodeo - Armour

She took everything she owned
threw it out in the rain
walked away from that life she won't go back again
had enough of people's lies enough of their blame
she made a promise to herself she won't get fooled again

Don't know why things come to me and why they disappear
I only know that living changed when she got here
I reached out my hand wiped the rain from her face
the look she gave me stopped me cold held me in my place

When I look into her eyes growing wild
what I see is such a wounded child

No matter what you're hiding
what you want to keep inside you
I am hiding too
and we'll take a step somehow
lay down your armour now
and I'll come to you

I know a fall is coming but it hasn't happened yet
can't believe what I keep inside and what I can't forget
the sun paints the evening sky and then it's gone
I can't say I can save you but I swear I won't leave you alone

Every night I listen to the silence in your heart
I never want to see you that torn apart

No matter what you're hiding
what you want to keep inside you
I've been hiding too
and we'll take a step somehow
lay down your armour now
I'll come to you
come to you
come to you
