If I close my eyes, will it come to life? Is it something I'm dreaming of? If a steady hand, doesn't rule my heart Will it lead me to somewhere happy enough?
Now my soul is sore in a sinful world (and you don't get out alive) If I meet myself in a halfway home And I will remember the things you said
Love isn't always fair But that's no reason to be so cruel to me Hold on to what is there And count the saints
There's a reason why, I keep it all inside To shun my hopes from the raining sky Then arrange it all into simple lines To be part of a world where love can reside
And the hope's are holding my careful heart (and it don't get out alive) And I gave myself to a lonely smile Who couldn't keep his promises
Love isn't always fair But that's no reason to be so cruel to me Hold on to what is there And count the saints And count the saints And count the saints
Love isn't always fair But that's no reason to be so cruel to me Hold on to what is there And count the saints And count the saints And count the saints
