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 could 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 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 (love will come to you) Like brushing cloth I smooth the wrinkles for an answer (love will come) I'm always closing my eyes and wishing I'm fine (I close my eyes and wish you fine) Even though I know I'm not this time (even though I know your not this time)
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 (I have offered up to you) 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
