INDIGO GIRLS
Words and Music: Emily Saliers I 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 The pause of fear upon her chest Only love can sooth that beast And my words are paper tigers No match for the predator of pain inside her I said love will come to you Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true 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 to you) I'm always closing my eyes and wishing I'm fine Even though I'm not this time I said love will come to you Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true 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 I'm always on the outside looking in on others' lives I said love will come to you Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true And if I've 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 Safe place for all the pieces that scatter Learn to pretend there's more than love that matters
