It's hard to keep a smile on your face When you're in front of the firing squad And your last chance to run is runnin' out Perspective doesn't figure in Once you've got the blindfold on And your last cigarette is burning down Well, maybe I can finally get some rest Or maybe you could grant my last request 'cause Only love can save me now Only love can save me now Every wish I sigh echoes off the sky saying Only love can save me now It's hard to keep your eye on the prize When somewhere in the back of your mind You know the other shoe is bound to fall How ya supposed to keep your sense of humour When the woods are full of rumours That someone's got their finger on the bomb Nothin' that I ever lost or gained Ever really mattered anyway 'cause Only love can save me now. Only love can save me now. Every wish I sigh echoes off the sky saying Only love can save me now Running here and running there Bar the entrances with chairs All the walls are ten feet high or more All the windows locked up tight All the stash hid out of sight 'Cause the big bad wolf is at the door Only love can save me now. Only love can save me now. Every prayer I cry echoes off the sky sayin, Only love can save me now
