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
