Craig Armstrong - Love Tried To Welcome Me lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus 1] Love tried to welcome me But my soul drew back Guilty of lust and sin Love tried to take me in [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus 2] 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 [Bridge] And I must confess, instead of spring, it's always winter And my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still [Chorus 1, inserting "I was" before "Guilty"] [Chorus 2, removing "I was"] [Chorus 3] (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 (Covered) [Chorus 2] 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 [Chorus 3] (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) [Outro] Love tried to welcome me [fade]
