[Verse 1] If I close my eyes, will it come to life? Is it something Im dreaming of? If a steady head doesnt rule my heart Will it lead me to somewhere happy enough? And Im a sorry soul in a sinful world And you dont get out alive If I meet myself in a half way home And Ill remember all the things you said [Chorus] Love isnt always fair But thats no reason to be so cruel to me Hold on to what is there And count the saints [Verse 2] Theres a reason why I keep it all inside To shield my hopes from the raining sky And arrange it all into simple lines To be a part of a world where love can reside And the hopes I hold in my careful hands Well they dont get out alive And I gave myself to an honest man Who couldnt keep his promises [Chorus] Love isnt always fair But thats no reason to be so cruel to me Hold on to what is there And count the saints And count the saints And count the saints [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Love isnt always fair But thats no reason to be so cruel to me Hold on to what is there And count the saints And count the saints And count the saints
