Indigo Girls - Love Will Come to You lyrics
Love Will Come to You" is an Emily Saliers song, probably written in the summer of 1991. She sums it up as "words of advice to a broken heart." The specific version I'm transcribing is from Provincetown, Mass, on 28 July 1991. Love Will Come To You Guess I wasn't the best one to ask Me, myself, with my face pressed up against the watchglass I see the tiny 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 So my words, like 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 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 smoothe the wrinkles for an answer And I close my eyes and wish you fine Even though I know you're not, this time. Because you dream about a place where you can't feel a thing You're holding onto God and swinging by a tiny string Dodging memories, you'll feel the knives Always on the outside looking into other's lives. I say love will come to you Hoping just because I spoke the words that they're true As if I offered up a crystal ball to look through where there's now one, there will be two. I wished her insight to battle love's blindness Strength from the milk of human kindness A safe place for all the pieces that scatter Learn to pretend there's more than love that matters |
