These are my hands, but what can they give me?These are my eyes, but they cannot seeThese are my arms, but they don't know tendernessAnd I must confess that I am usually drawn to sadnessAnd loneliness has never been a stranger to me, but

Love tried to welcome meBut my soul drew backGuilty of lust and sinLove tried to take me in
These are my lips, but they whisper sorrowThis is my voice, but it's telling liesI know how to laugh, but I don't know happinessAnd I must confess, instead of spring, it's always winterAnd my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still
[Chorus2:]
Love tried to welcome meBut my soul drew backI was covered with dust and sinLove tried to take me in
Love tried to break me
And I must confess, instead of spring, it's always winterAnd my heart has always been a lonely hunter, but still

(Love tried to break me)Love tried to welcome meBut my soul drew backGuilty of lust and sin(I was covered with dust, covered with sorrow)Love tried to take me in(Covered)
Still, love tried to welcome meBut my soul drew back(Guilty of lust and sin)Covered with dust and sinLove tried to take me in
(Love tried to break me)Love tried to welcome me(Love tried to welcome me)But my soul drew backGuilty of lust and sin(But my soul drew back)Love tried to take me in(I was covered with sadness)
