It's hard to keep a smile on your face  When you're in front of the firing squad  And your last chance to run is runnin' out  Perspective doesn't figure in   Once you've got the blindfold on  And your last cigarette is burning down  Well, maybe I can finally get some rest  Or maybe you could grant my last request 'cause  Only love can save me now  Only love can save me now  Every wish I sigh echoes off the sky saying  Only love can save me now  It's hard to keep your eye on the prize  When somewhere in the back of your mind  You know the other shoe is bound to fall  How ya supposed to keep your sense of humour  When the woods are full of rumours  That someone's got their finger on the bomb  Nothin' that I ever lost or gained  Ever really mattered anyway 'cause  Only love can save me now.  Only love can save me now.  Every wish I sigh echoes off the sky saying  Only love can save me now  Running here and running there  Bar the entrances with chairs  All the walls are ten feet high or more  All the windows locked up tight  All the stash hid out of sight  'cause the big bad wolf is at the door    Only love can save me now.  Only love can save me now.  Every prayer I cry echoes off the sky sayin,  Only love can save me now
