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
