Lyrics : Forwards Album Version
Like a soldier who ain’t got nothing to fight
Like a poet who can’t find any more rhymes
I’m a man who’s lost control of all that he owns
Are you going to give me love
Are you going to give me love
Are you going to give me love
Are you going to give me love and forgiveness?
Like a doctor who’s got noone to heal
A mechanic who can’t turn the steering wheel
I’m a man who’s lost it all by giving it away
Are you going to give me love
Are you going to give me love
Are you going to give me love
Are you going to give me love and forgiveness?
Love and forgiveness
Say you’l be my open window, window widow
Say you’ll be my open door, door
Oh love, love and forgiveness
Like a sailor who can’t go back to sea
Like a preacher so blind
Like a preacher so blind, he cannot see
I’m a man crying out to be saved from myself
Are you going to give me love
Love and forgiveness
Are you going to give me love
Love and forgiveness
Heyla heyla Shayla
Heyla heyla Shayla
Love and forgiveness
Say you’l be my open window
(Heyla heyla Shayla)
Say you’ll be my open door
(Heyla heyla Shayla)
Are you going to give me love
Love and forgiveness
