Love Will Come To You

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

The paws of fear upon your chest

Only love can soothe that beast

And my words are paper tigers

No match for the predator 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

(Love will come to you)

Like brushing cloth, I smooth the wrinkles for an answer

(Love will come)

And I'm always closing my eyes (Close my eyes, wish you fine)

And wishing I'm fine (Even though I)

Even though I'm not this time (Know you're 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've offered up a crystal ball to look through

Where there's now one there will be two

Dodging your memories (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

(Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true)

As if I've 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 scatter

Learn to pretend

There's more than love that matters
