If I close my eyes, will it come to life? Is it something I'm dreaming of? If a steady head doesn't rule my heart Will it lead me to somewhere happy enough? And I'm a sorry soul in a sinful world (And you don't get out alive) If I meet myself in a halfway home And I'll remember the things you said Love isn't always fair But that's no reason to be so cruel to me Hold onto what is there And count the saints There's a reason why we keep it all inside To shield our hopes from the raining sky And arrange it all into simple lines To be part of a world where love can reside And the hopes I hold in my careful hands (Well they don't get out alive) And I gave myself to an honest man Who couldn't keep his promises Love isn't always fair But that's no reason to be so cruel to me Hold onto what is there And count the saints And count the saints And count the saints Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah Love isn't always fair But that's no reason to be so cruel to me Hold onto what is there And count the saints And count the saints And count the saints
