And the night was filled with laughter
  Echoing through painted smiles
  And I knew each morning after
  I never loved , was never touched
  Gave not at all, got back as much
  In the comfort of
  A modern day version of love
  
  Julie, how I've curse the sweet taste
  Of lips that ask so much of me
  Still I wonder with every embrace
  Could I give and not break
  Should I care and forsake
  All the comfort of
  A modern day version of love
  
  Close my eyes and keep on runnin'
  Realize it isn't gonna work anymore
  For me, yeah
  I'm afraid for maybe that somethin'
  Never cared enough to be afraid
  Of anything
  Before, not before
  
  Barefoot child on streets of cinder
  Sleeping child the morning calls
  Pray for spring but face the winter
  Take the hand, taste the kiss
  Leave behind the emptiness
  And the comfort of
  A modern day version of love
