Ready For Love

beat, broken and tired, unhooked and unhired

and ready to take my share of the blame

this brave little coward who split when things soured

is hoping your heart is his to reclaim

slipped on the peels and tripped on the wires

the fabric of trust so tragically stained

but now it's the higher to which I aspire

but you won't believe I'm ready for love

drawn in by the choirs of faraway pyres

beckoning me and calling my name

seduced by desire, burned by the fire

tortured by heat, but cleansed by the flame

take it from me, a thief and a liar

what started so sweetly ended in shame

restrung and rewired, this soul is inspired

I'm ready for love, I'm ready for love

back to the scene, the remorseful buyer

to scatter the ashes, to search the remains

to see if the fire is fully expired

I'm ready for love, I'm ready for love
