Rufus Wainwright - Crumb By Crumb Lyrics

From the Album: Want Two

Maybe in you I'll believe
Maybe I'll believe in you
The future of my understanding of love
Many a time I've before
Before I've many a time
Knocked a stranger's door
Discretion hardly I'm known for
Probably has nothing to do, nothing at all in the world
to do with you
Just your lower lip on the floor

But baby I gotta get through
Crumb by crumb in this big black forest
Maybe in you I'll believe
Maybe I'll believe in you

Suddenly I'm not myself
Behind the facade is the lonely fountain head
Suddenly you are the one
Who opens the gates to this unruly garden
Come and let this man adore you

'Cause baby I gotta get through Crumb by crumb in this big black forest
Maybe in you I'll believe
Maybe I'll believe in you

Suddenly you're not yourself
Behind the facade is lonely angel's stealth
Suddenly I am the one who opens the gates
to this now blooming garden
Come and let this man adore crumb by crumb
in this big black forest

You I'll believe, crumb by crumb in this big black forest
You I'll believe, the future of my understanding of love
