Oh, the myth of love
like some new best friend
the bright promise of tomorrow
and tomorrow without end  
oh but I should know better
life is no wishing well
yeah there's a story here baby
but it's so hard to tell
You might say that innocence
is my only crime  
and the myth of love    
walks a thin hard line  
Well I hear you talkin'
but I just don't want to talk about it now
I can't seem to find my way back, way back down
I get no surprises  
I get no soft and lonely   
watch your pretty blue eyes 
as they turn on me  
You might say that blindness  
is my only crime  
and the myth of love  
is a light that will not shine 
Oh baby hold me close
so I cannot breathe
hold me close to this sweet earth
so I cannot leave it
Oh the myth of love                
like some clarion call  
it could save us save us one and all   
You might say that innocence
is my only crime
and the myth of love 
laugh and spins the hands of time
and I said the myth of love
