Love Tried to Welcome Me - Madonna

These are my hands, but what can they give me?

These are my eyes, but they cannot see

These are my arms, but they don’t know tenderness

And I must confess that I am usually drawn to sadness

And loneliness has never been a stranger to me, but

Love tried to welcome me

But my soul drew back

Guilty of lust and sin

Love tried to take me in

These are my lips, but they whisper sorrow

This is my voice, but it’s telling lies

I know how to laugh, but I don’t know happiness

And I must confess, instead of spring, it’s always winter

And my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still

Love tried to welcome me

But my soul drew back

I was covered with dust and sin

Love tried to take me in

Love tried to break me

And I must confess, instead of spring, it’s always winter

And my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still

(chorus, inserting «I was» before «Guilty»)

(chorus, removing «I was»)

Love tried to welcome me

But my soul drew back

Guilty of lust and sin

[I was covered with dust

overed with sorrow]

Love tried to take me in

Still, love tried to welcome me

But my soul drew back

Covered with dust and sin

Love tried to take me in

Love tried to welcome me

But my soul drew back

Guilty of lust and sin

Love tried to take me in

Love tried to welcome me

Love tried to welcome me

Love tried to welcome me

Love tried to welcome me
