Meredith's Lullabye for the Country

Come in, close the door tight behind you
I can't do much but it's a start
I can't promise there's not demons out there
But you're safe here inside my heart

Let your guard fall down around you
I'll give you open hands and dashboard light
We'll get up and fight again tomorrow
Rest here in my arms tonight

I've seen all that they've put up against you
But you're not doing this alone
Here between the end and the beginning
Is the place where I can call you home

Let your guard fall down arounnd you
I'll give you open hands and dashboard light
We'll get up and fight again tomorrow
Rest here in my arms tonight

I'll smooth your brow with my calloused fingers
Untangle all your stomach's knots
My arms are stronger than you'd give them credit
Let your bruises heal and I'll keep watch

Let your guard fall down around you
I'll give you open hands and dashboard light
We'll get up and fight again tomorrow
Rest here in my arms tonight.
