Lyrics Mary Chapin Carpenter – Slave To The Beauty

Don’t want to need the way I need you
Don’t want to feel like this
Holding back all the words but not the kiss
For the moment my heart begins to murmur

I know the price of this to me
I’ll light the candle that shines on you
I’ll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth

Don’t want to fear the way I fear you’ll
Hurt me because you can
I never believed I’d crave that kind of man
I’ve seen the trail of hearts you’ve broken
I’ve seen the traps you lay
And if I had the strengh I’d run without delay

I know the price of this to me
I’ll light the candle that shines on you
I’ll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth

It’s dark and getting colder and I’m the beholder
And you’re all I long to see

Don’t want to love the way I love you…

I know the price of this to me
I’ll light the candle that shines on you
I’ll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth

I know the price of this to me
I’ll light the candle that shines on you
I’ll be a slave to the beauty but not the truth
