Love Will Come To You

One of my favourite songs of all time. I'm normally the last person you'd write down as a hopeless romantic, but just the first note of this song turns me into a pile of mush.  This song and he who must not be named. Thank you Indigo Girls for the beautiful music. And thank you for being 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 
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'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 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
