Give me peace, deep in my heart
Give me succour, give me art
Give me back my innocent demeanour
Give me a house up on the hill where I can find my higher will
And let it rain so that I might feel cleaner
And give me faith in humankind
And give me longer summer time
And give me time to take in all this beauty
And give me the strength of my convictions
Give me a break from these afflictions
And days when I don't feel all this duty
And if you can't do that
Just give me love
And if you can't do that
Just give me love
And give me kisses down my neck
Oh give me a man with genuflects
Who whispers things that I cannot say to you
Yeah give me a man I can admire
And tie me to his open fire
In afternoons of naked hallelujah
(x2)
And if you can't do that
Just give me love
And if you can't do that
Just give me love
Ahhhhh
Ahhhhh
And give me back my liberty to languor in the poetry
And let me swim in oceans of your making
And give me friends that make me laugh
Who pull me through the aftermath
Please please give me a heart that don't keep breaking
(x2)
And if you can't do that
Just give me love
And if you can't do that
Just give me love
