Lyrics

0:13You breathed infinity into my world

0:17And time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl

0:21We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and lay there for the night

0:30Then you said wait for me we'll fly the wind

0:37We'll grow old and you'll be stronger without him but oh

0:43Now my world is at your feet

0:47I was lost and I was found

0:51But I was alive and now I've drowned

0:57So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song

1:04So they can tell me I was wrong

1:07But they weren't there beneath your stare

1:11And they weren't stripped till they were bare of

1:15Any bindings from the world outside that room

1:21And they weren't taken by the hand

1:25And led through fields of naked land

1:28Where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away

1:35So I couldn't say no

1:56You sighed and I was lost in you weeks could've past for all I knew

2:03You were there blanket of the over-world and so I couldn't say

2:08I wouldn't say no

2:12But they all said you're too young to even know

2:20Just don't let it grow and you'll be stronger without him

2:23But oh now my world is at your feet

2:30I was lost and I was found

2:33But I was alive and now I've drowned

2:40So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song

2:47So they can tell me I was wrong

2:50But they weren't there beneath your stare

2:53And they weren't stripped till they were bare

2:57Of any bindings from the world outside that room

3:04And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields

3:09Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away

3:18But they weren't there beneath your stare

3:21And they weren't stripped till they were bare

3:24Of any bindings from the world outside that room

3:31And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields

3:36Of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away

3:44So I couldn't say no

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
