Love Will Come To You
by: Indigo Girls

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
but 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
like brushing cloth i smooth the wrinkles for an answer
i close my eyes and wish you fine
(i'm always closing my eyes wishing i'm fine)
even though i know you're not this time
(even though i know i'm not this time)

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
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'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 for the milk of human kindness
a safe place for all the pieces that scattered
learn to pretend there's more to love that matters
