|
Guess I wasn't the best one to ask |
|
Me myself with my face pressed |
|
Up against love's glass |
|
To see the shiny toy, I've been hoping for the one I never can afford |
|
The wide world spins and spits turmoil |
|
And the nations toil for peace |
|
But the paws of fear upon your chest |
|
Only love can soothe that beast |
|
And my words are paper tigers |
|
No match for the predators of pain inside her |
|
I say, love will come to you |
|
Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true |
|
As if I've offered up a crystal ball to look through |
|
Where there's now one, there will be two |
|
I was born under the sign of Cancer |
|
Like brushing cloth I smooth the wrinkles for an answer |
|
I'm always closing my eyes and wishing I'm fine |
|
Even though I know I'm not this time |
|
And I say love will come to you |
|
Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true |
|
As if I offered up a crystal ball to look through |
|
Where there's now one, there will be two |
|
Dodging your memories a field of knives |
|
Always on the outside looking in on other's lives |
|
I say love will come to you |
|
Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true |
|
As if I offered up a crystal ball to look through |
|
Where there's now one, there will be two |
|
And I wish her insight to battle love's blindness |
|
Strength from the milk of human kindness |
|
A safe place for all, the pieces that scattered |
|
Learn to pretend, there's more than love that matters |
