Just Around the Corner

Things aren't quite as they seem inside my domain

You can't know 'bout everything, only pleasure and pain

You wonder why I come here with head to my hands

Where else can I be cured?

And the king of your mansion

A thorn in your side

And a child to protect

That claims he's free

Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven

Strong enough to hold you

Starved for some affection

Darling, come quickly, come ease my mind

For my prayers have not been answered in a long time

I've already made my bed, like it or not

As long as there's no regrets

I'll be here when the ride stops

These comforts to me and these crosses to bear

With which we live

Just around the corner, half a mile to heaven

Strong enough to hold you

Starved for some affection

Baby, I can't drag you into this mess

I'm the thorn in your side, and the child to protect, yes

And I'm just around the corner, half a mile to heaven

Oh, Strong enough to hold you

Starved for some affection

Darling, come quickly, come ease my worried mind

For my prayers have not been answered in a long time

And I'm just around the corner

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yes, I'm strong enough to hold you, yes I am

Half a mile to heaven, yes

Just around the corner
