1. Lord knows

I was ready to give love up
Consign it to the story books
Bitter words hid a wounded heart
I didn’t want to look

Yet somehow despite ourselves
We took each other in
Cautious hearts’ slow approach
Would we ever win?

Lord knows I don’t deserve to have you and
Lord knows what you mean to me
Lord knows where on earth we’re going
Wherever will you go there with me?

Many things that I learnt to scorn
Now seem to come naturally
My sullen independence
Goes when you’re next to me

And you’ve seen me running away
Pressed hard by imagined fear
Always you hold out your arms
I know safe comfort’s here

All my cares and all my gifts I give them unto you
All my love and all my words calling out to you
You love me

All my fears and all my joys I give them unto you
All my tears and all my sorrows crying out to you
You love me
I love you too
