Love Anyway Songtext

von Mike Scott

So you crashed the plane
And there's hell to pay
I'm making it plain
I love you anyway

You made a fool
Out of me today
I'm breaking the rule
I love you anyway

You threw the blame
What a role to play !
My story's the same
I love you anyway

You dealt the blow
And you burst the ball
I'm letting you know
I love you most of all

Magic we chase - only to find
It comes from a place higher than mind
Higher than dust but only just
It hangs on the cusp

I can hear you scream
Like a branded slave
It's only a dream
I love you anyway

You've got a war to wage
Chief to obey
Foe to engage
I love you anyway

You hunker down
Feeling small
Judging the clown
I love you most of all

I picture you with the eye of my mind
A portrait in blue, unravaged by time
Beauty undimmed and through your pale skin
The beauty within

So you beat the child
Sent him away
Beauty defiled
I love you anyway

You tricked the King
Cut him where he lay
Unthinkable thing
I love you anyway

You held the jewel
And you let it fall
Prince of a fool !
I love you most of all

Over the wind, under the hill
Wing upon wing, Love over will
When the Big me meets the Big you
The things we will do !

I'll make the time
If you name the day
Trouble or shine
I love you anyway

I think of you
As a child of clay
Whatever you do
I love you anyway
