The Myth of Love

Oh, the myth of love

like some new best friend

the bright promise of tomorrow

and tomorrow without end

oh but I should know better

life is no wishing well

yeah there's a story here baby

but it's so hard to tell

You might say that innocence

is my only crime

and the myth of love

walks a thin hard line

Well I hear you talkin'

but I just don't want to talk about it now

I can't seem to find my way back, way back down

I get no surprises

I get no soft and lonely

watch your pretty blue eyes

as they turn on me

You might say that blindness

is my only crime

and the myth of love

is a light that will not shine

Oh baby hold me close

so I cannot breathe

hold me close to this sweet earth

so I cannot leave it

Oh the myth of love

like some clarion call

it could save us save us one and all

You might say that innocence

is my only crime

and the myth of love

laugh and spins the hands of time

and I said the myth of love
