heavenly arms

kneeling hands against the sliding door reflection into droplets droplets counting to high numbers it is raining and i am kneeling against the sliding door easy to open keeping door shut keeping my hands cold against the glass heavenly arms in adjacent room covered by el perro del mar 

Heavenly Arms - Lou Reed (El Perro Del Mar Cover)

Heavenly arms reach out to hold me
Heavenly arms entice you to dance
In a world of ill will, the dancers are still
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Heavenly arms soft as a love song
Heavenly arms bring a kiss to your ear
In a world that seems mad, all the dancers seem sad
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Sylvia
Sylvia
Sylvia
Sylvia

Heavenly arms come to my rescue
Only a woman can love a man
In a world full of hate, love should never wait
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Heavenly arms strong as a sunset
Heavenly arms pure as the rain
Lovers stand warned of the world's impending storm
Heavenly arms reach out to me

Sylvia
Sylvia
Sylvia
Sylvia

Ohhh-wohhh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh, oh-woh-woh
Ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh-ooohhh, ohh-woh-woh
(Heavenly arms reach out to hold me)
(Sylvia, you mean so much to me)
(Heavenly arms reach out to hold me)
(Sylvia, you mean so much to me)
(Heavenly arms reach out to hold me)
(Sylvia, you mean so much to me)

(Heavenly arms reach out to hold me)


- after listening to el perro del mar's take on this this wonderfully desperate plea by lou reed i've become obsessed with the simplicity in wanting what you want, and the nature around delivering lines that communicate such desire without neglecting the real depth. i find the truthful lyrics and pure sounds in heavenly arms very motivational.
