Love Anyway Lyrics - Mike Scott

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
