Love Tried To Welcome Me Lyrics：Madonna/Dave Hall Music：Madonna/Dave Hall 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 Chorus: 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 Chorus2: 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') (chorus2, removing 'I was') Love tried to welcome me But my soul drew back Guilty of lust and sin 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 (fade)
