Bring Your Love

See the workers coming home along the avenue,
and women in windows, calling for their men.
The buds are bursting everywhere and all of life is new.
I'm waiting for you to come to me so we can start over again.

Oh, I've been trying, trying to get it across –
I adore you, we don't need to fight.
There is nothing, nothing we have lost.
So bring your love and not your cross to me tonight.
Bring your love and not your cross to me tonight.

There's a radio playing and boy flying his kite.
And even the corner drunks seem to move in harmony.
When the April breeze comes through the trees, don't it make you feel light?
And if you want to be happy, you just have to let yourself be.

Oh, I've been trying, trying to get it across –
I adore you, we don't need to fight.
There is nothing, nothing we have lost.
So bring your love and not your cross to me tonight.
Bring your love and not your cross to me tonight.

And I can't remember what started this mess.
All I know is you're the key to my happiness.

So bring some records and I'll bring some bread and wine.
The gates of feeling open up in a hundred ways.
Our love is old, our love is new – it cannot be confined.
It's like a river running free beneath these ever-changing days.

Oh, I've been trying, trying to get it across –
I adore you, we don't need to fight.
There is nothing, nothing we have lost.
So bring your love and not your cross to me tonight.
Bring your love and not your cross to me tonight.
Bring your love and not your cross to me tonight.
