A Modern Day Version of Love

And the night was filled with laughter

Echoing through painted smiles

And I knew each morning after

I never loved , was never touched

Gave not at all, got back as much

In the comfort of

A modern day version of love

Julie, how I've curse the sweet taste

Of lips that ask so much of me

Still I wonder with every embrace

Could I give and not break

Should I care and forsake

All the comfort of

A modern day version of love

Close my eyes and keep on runnin'

Realize it isn't gonna work anymore

For me, yeah

I'm afraid for maybe that somethin'

Never cared enough to be afraid

Of anything

Before, not before

Barefoot child on streets of cinder

Sleeping child the morning calls

Pray for spring but face the winter

Take the hand, taste the kiss

Leave behind the emptiness

And the comfort of

A modern day version of love
