Mike Scott Love Anyway Lyrics

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
