Ben Mark - Count the Saints lyrics

[Verse 1] If I close my eyes, will it come to life? Is it something I'm dreaming of? If a steady head doesn't rule my heart Will it lead me to somewhere happy enough? And I'm a sorry soul in a sinful world And you don't get out alive If I meet myself in a half way home And I'll remember all the things you said [Chorus] Love isn't always fair But that's no reason to be so cruel to me Hold on to what is there And count the saints [Verse 2] There's 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 don't get out alive And I gave myself to an honest man Who couldn't keep his promises [Chorus] (2x) Love isn't always fair But that's 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
