Count The Saints Lyrics & Chords By Foxes
If I close my eyes, will it come to life?
Is it something I'm dreaming of?
If a steady head doesn't rule my heart
Will it lead me to somewhere happy enough?
And I'm a sorry soul in a sinful world
(And you don't get out alive)
If I meet myself in a halfway home
And I'll remember the things you said
Love isn't always fair
But that's no reason to be so cruel to me
Hold onto what is there
And count the saints
There's a reason why we keep it all inside
To shield our hopes from the raining sky
And arrange it all into simple lines
To be part of a world where love can reside
And the hopes I hold in my careful hands
(Well they don't get out alive)
And I gave myself to an honest man
Who couldn't keep his promises
Love isn't always fair
But that's no reason to be so cruel to me
Hold onto what is there
And count the saints
And count the saints
And count the saints
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah-ah
Love isn't always fair
But that's no reason to be so cruel to me
Hold onto what is there
And count the saints
And count the saints
And count the saints
