Only Love Can Save Me Now Lyrics

Only Love Can Save Me Now

It's hard to keep a smile on your face

when you're in front of the firing
squad

and your last chance to run is runnin' out

Perspective
doesn't figure in 

once you've got the blindfold on

and your last
cigarette is burning down

Well, maybe I can finally get some rest

or maybe you could grant my last request 'cause



Only love can
save me now

Only love can save me now

Every wish I sigh echoes off
the sky saying

Only love can save me now



It's hard to keep
your eye on the prize

when somewhere in the back of your mind

you
know the other shoe is bound to fall

How ya supposed to keep your sense
of humour

when the woods are full of rumours

that someone's got
their finger on the bomb

Nothin' that I ever lost or gained

ever
really mattered anyway 'cause



Only love can save me now.

Only love can save me now.

Every wish I sigh echoes off the sky
saying

Only love can save me now



Running here and running
there

bar the entrances with chairs

All the walls are ten feet high
or more

All the windows locked up tight

All the stash hid out of
sight

'cause the big bad wolf is at the door





Only
love can save me now.

Only love can save me now.

Every prayer I cry
echoes off the sky sayin,

Only love can save me now
