Mary Chapin Carpenter - In the Name of Love lyrics

[Verse 1] It's the spell that can't be broken It's your breath upon my neck It's the words I long to tell you but haven't yet It's the need to see you constantly And the need to be alone Just to balance out what's left of me And what's too far gone What if the night complied, bringing you to my door What if I let you in, baby, isn't that what the night is for? [Chorus] In the name of love there's nothing that I would not do In the name of love I'd lose myself to find you In the name of love [Verse 2] It's the prayer I send up daily for some courage and some pride When your hand brushes my shoulder and our eyes collide It's the smallest of seductions and the quietest of lures And I'm all at once an innocent in the big bad world But what if the night conspired, bringing you to my door Why should I turn you away now, I don't want to wait anymore [Chorus] [Bridge] But when the darkness fades, giving way to morning light You will find me gone, to carry on the lonely fight [Chorus]
