Dangerous Weapon

from Shade of the Trees

Dangerous weapon
Forged in the fiery oven
Words that another lover had told you
The hurt you wielded
If only you believed it
You could have killed your greatest weakness
Terrible closeness, guilty of treason
And letting me in

So let's begin, I brought you here
To witness the fall of sense and reason
For this is love, blindfolded and dumb
Stumbling toward the changing season

But you needed more
Maybe a sign from heaven
A bolt from the blue
To strike at your core
That I was the one for you
A clear path to follow
A rail through the straight and narrow
The will to do right, the courage to fight
The strength to stay true

Well, here's a clue: love happens to you
You can't always control the way you're feelin'
Yes, that was love you stabbed through the heart
And who struck you back and left you reeling?

Mmmm, mmmm...
Mmmm, mmmm...

Dangerous weapon
Forged in the fiery oven
Words that another lover had told you
The hurt you wielded
If only you believed it
You could have killed your greatest weakness
Look, there goes love, stumbling away
With a dangerous weapon
