And the night was filled with laughter
|
Echoing through painted smiles
|
And I knew each morning after
|
I never loved, was never touched
|
Gave not at all, got back as much
|
In the comfort of
|
A modern day version of love
|
|
Julie, how I've curse the sweet taste
|
Of lips that ask so much of me
|
Still I wonder with every embrace
|
Could I give and not break
|
Should I care and forsake
|
All the comfort of
|
A modern day version of love
|
|
Close my eyes and keep on runnin'
|
Realize it isn't gonna work anymore
|
For me, yeah
|
I'm afraid for maybe that somethin'
|
Never cared enough to be afraid
|
Of anything
|
Before, not before
|
|
Barefoot child on streets of cinder
|
Sleeping child the morning calls
|
Pray for spring but face the winter
|
Take the hand, taste the kiss
|
Leave behind the emptiness
|
And the comfort of
|
A modern day version of love
|
|
