You breathed infinity into my world
|
And time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl.
|
We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and lay there for the night.
|
Then you said, "wait for me we'll fly the wind,
|
We'll grow old and you'll be stronger without him" but oh,
|
Now my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,
|
But I was alive and now I've drowned.
|
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
|
So they can tell me I was wrong...
|
|
But they weren't there beneath your stare,
|
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare of
|
Any bindings from the world outside that room.
|
And they weren't taken by the hand
|
And led through fields of naked land
|
Where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...
|
So I couldn't say "no".
|
|
You sighed and I was lost in you, weeks could've past for all I knew.
|
You were there blanket of the over-world and so I couldn't say,
|
I wouldn't say "no". But they all said, "you're too young to even know,
|
Just don't let it grow and you'll be stronger without him"
|
But oh, now, my world is at your feet. I was lost and I was found,
|
But I was alive and now I've drowned.
|
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song
|
So they can tell me I was wrong...
|
|
But they weren't there beneath your stare,
|
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare
|
Of any bindings from the world outside that room.
|
And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields
|
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...
|
|
But they weren't there beneath your stare,
|
And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare
|
Of any bindings from the world outside that room.
|
And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields
|
Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away...
|
So I couldn't say "no".
