Capo 3
Intro:
Verse 1:
The things I've collected, bought or selected
The clutter that fills up my rooms
I can lock up and leave it, never retrieve it.
Leave nothing but my love for you.
Let the storm winds blow, I will not be cold.
Refrain:
I wear your love
Thrown over my shoulders like a blanket of down
I wear your love
like a bright suit of armor re-flecting the sun
On the chilliest night though I travel light.
It is always enough for I wear your love.
Verse 2:
You watched without knowing where I was going
Trusting the vision I'd found
For if dreams were a fire, I had desire
That could burn this old house to the ground.
So I walk quite free, for sur-rounding me
Refrain:
I wear your love
like a scarf that I borrowed that still holds your per-fume.
I wear your love
pulled tight as I'm sleeping under a cold lovers's moon.
On the chilliest night though I travel light.
It is always enough for I wear your love.
Bridge:
Don't you know, can't you see
Head to toe it is covering me
Like a stone, the oceans's tide
Nothing can hurt me or turn me aside.
Refrain:
For I wear your love
Thrown over my shoulders like a blanket of down.
I wear your love
Like a badge of de-votion of love and be-yond.
On the chilliest night though I travel light.
It is always e-nough for I wear your love.
(hold) - - -
It is always e-nough for I wear your love.
