Lyrics to

Love Tried To Welcome Me

Madonna (from Bedtime Stories)

 

These are my hands

But what can they give me?

 

These are my eyes

But they cannot see

 

These are my arms

But they don't know tenderness

 

And I must confess

That I am usually drawn to sadness,

 

And loneliness has never been a stranger

To me


Love tried to welcome me,

But my soul drew back

 

Guilty of lust and sin,

Love tried to take me in

 

These are my lips

But they whisper sorrow

 

This is my voice

But it's telling lies

 

I know how to laugh

But I don't know happiness

 

And I must confess,

Instead of spring, it's always winter,

 

And my heart has always been

A lonely hunter


Love tried to welcome me

But my soul drew back

 

Covered with dust and sin

Love tried to take me in

 

Love tried to break me...

Instead of spring, it's always winter,

 

And my heart has always been

A lonely hunter
