Readymade - Gretta Ray

Hold me close and keep me in your warmth

Show the ropes when living leaves me scorned

Greet me at the door

Saying you’ll be my safest place to fall

Wrap me in a sense of sweet relief

Rid me of despair and belief

Know you’re all that I need

When I am down and out, when bruised or bleeding

Tell me you’ll take all of my weight

Have me seek solace to regain faith

Sing me to sleep, and come morning light

I’ll be revived with you at my side

There is never any need to ask you to stay

I know you do

It’s only in your nature to

Rest assured, this love’s forever new

Simplify these convoluted thoughts

Ease my mind

Your comfort is the cause of my purpose and worth

When kicked to the curb

I’m back on my feet just in hearing your words

When you tell me you’ll take all that I am

'Cause when in your orbit, I can withstand

Tenebrous lows or treacherous heights

All of my life, in you’ll I’ll confide

There is never any need to ask you to stay

I know you do

It’s only in your nature to

Rest assured, this love’s forever new

There will never come a time that I tell you to go your own way

You won’t begin to feel me fade

Rest assured, this love was readymade

Tell me you’ll take all of my weight

Have me seek solace to regain faith

Sing me to sleep, and come morning light

I’ll be revived with you at my side
