Leather & Lace Lyrics - Don Henley

Is love so fragile 

And the heart so hollow 

Shatter with words 

Impossible to follow 

You're saying I'm fragile I try not to be 

I search only for something I can't see 

I have my own life and I am stronger 

Than you know 

But I carry this feeling 

When you walked into my house 

That you won't be walking out the door 

Still I carry this feeling 

When you walked into my house 

That you won't be walking out the door 

Lovers forever face to face 

My city your mountains 

Stay with me stay 

I need you to love me 

I need you today 

Give to me your leather 

Take from me my lace 

You in the moonlight 

With your sleepy eyes 

Could you ever love a man like me 

And you were right 

When I walked into your house 

I knew I'd never want to leave 

Sometimes I'm a strong man 

Sometimes cold and scared 

And sometimes I cry 

But that time I saw you 

I knew with you to light my nights 

Somehow I'd get by 

Lovers forever face to face 

My city your mountains 

Stay with me stay 

I need you to love me 

I need you today 

Give to me your leather 

Take from me my lace 

Lovers forever face to face 

My city your mountains 

Stay with me stay 

I need you to love me 

I need you today 

Give to me your leather 

Take from me my lace 

But take from me my lace 

Take from me my lace
