Need someone to nurse me   Reach out for the first person I see   Comforts the helpless, sole vanity   Caressing the broken heart of me      The difference between love and comfort   Is that comfort's more reliable and true   Brutal and mocking but always there   A crutch for enmity's saddest glare      I wish that someone would hold me   Wrap their arms around a shrinking somebody   Comfort comes and ease me till the morning   Whispered words of sanctuary      The difference between love and comfort   Is that comfort's more reliable and true   Brutal and mocking but always there   A crutch for enmity's saddest glare      Is that comfort's more reliable and true   Brutal and mocking but always there   A crutch for enmity's saddest glare      Forgetting how I hate self-pity blond   Comfort comes and smooths her over   Calloused hands turn a beautiful dress   Handcuffs now her pearl bracelets
