When It Comes To You

 

Flowers fade and love is made

While fools are out, out on parade

But I built you a slipper made of gold

Love is blind or so I’m told

I’ll re-write the greatest poems of

A dreamer’s failures, hope and love

There’s a sound of bows against the strings

It’s like Dominique and angel wings

 

There’s something greater than me

When it comes to you

There’s something greater than me

When it comes to you

 

So put a tourniquet around my heart

To keep it from falling apart

Byron, Shelley, Shakespeare and Keats

Dripping off the page into these streets

Yeah, in miracles I still believe

‘Cause I think you’ve got one up your sleeve

 

There’s something greater than me

When it comes to you

There’s something greater than me

When it comes to you

Yeah, you dance across the water

And you sail my skies of blue

There’s something greater than me

When it comes to you

 

The scent on this scarf’s growing weak

I left on Sunday incomplete

I swim across these ancient floors 

To drown in the colors all around your door

 

Been feeding this fire with gasoline

She moves like a sphinx in my dreams

Am I being smart or just a fool

I’m broken glass and she’s a jewel

Pardon me for goin’ on about

A love that I can’t figure out

Into the nighttime skies I’ll cast

A prayer of hope that this will last

Through the valleys often times I’ve fled

A bounty still out on my head

I’ve done some damage from coast to coast

Destroyed some things I needed most

But precious is the one I see

I see her looking back at me

 

There’s something greater than me

When it comes to you

There’s something greater than me

When it comes to you

Yeah, you dance across the water

And you sail my skies of truth

There’s something greater than me

When it comes to you

There’s something greater than me

When it comes to you

 

There’s something greater

There’s something greater

There’s something greater
