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
