Indigo Girls - Love Will Come to You (Live) Lyrics

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, peace
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 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)
And 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
(Dodging your memories)
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 offered up a crystal ball to look through
(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
