INDIGO GIRLS - Love Will Come To You lyrics

rate me

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