Lyrics
She comes in through the front door screaming like a baby
She lays her head down beside yours - she's feeling like a lady
You think "do I ask her to stay or do I say go away?"
Go away from me
She wears a wedding dress to turn it inside out
The more you shout the less she knows what you're shouting about
I can see clearly the secrets you've been keeping
When I watch your eyes watch her face as she's sleeping
You've got problems of your own
All you asked of life was to be left alone
A sweeping breeze and a storm led her home to you
With a little luck you'll get what's coming to you
You'll fall in love
You can tear down all her walls
If you will be there when they fall
Just be there, arms outstretched
It won't be near what you'd expect
Your life has never been so meaningful
You've got problems of your own
All you asked of life was to be left alone
A sweeping breeze and a storm led her home to you
With a little luck you'll get what's coming to you
You'll fall in love
