Love
Tried To Welcome Me
written by Madonna and Dave Hall
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, but
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, but still
Love
tried to welcome me
But
my soul drew back
I was
covered with dust and sin
Love
tried to take me in
Love
tried to break me
And
I must confess, instead of spring, it's always winter
And
my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still
[Love
tried to break me]
Love
tried to welcome me
But
my soul drew back
Guilty
of lust and sin
[I was
covered with dust, covered with sorrow]
Love
tried to take me in
Still,
love tried to welcome me
But
my soul drew back
[Guilty
of lust and sin]
Covered
with dust and sin
Love
tried to take me in
[Love
tried to break me]
Love
tried to welcome me
[Love
tried to welcome me]
But
my soul drew back
Guilty
of lust and sin
[But
my soul drew back]
Love
tried to take me in
[I was
covered with sadness]
Love
tried to welcome me
