Lyrics
Lungs
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I started by saving you
I thought it was wise
So you asked me Why?
Why give your freedom to stand at my side?
I said It Makes You Mine
(At least it was worth a try)
We watched our behaviour
At least for a while
Until we'd had enough
You gave in completely
Eyes full of stars
Until you had to stop
The heart beats on and off
Soon you went walking
And left me to fret
I knew not where you'd been
Something about you that smells of the sea
And you say I am all sky and rain
Please don't leave me again
So, dear woman
I'll answer you now
Breathless though I am
Silent too, as a thousand miles
Empty as a hand
I gave up nothing
You gave me everything
Until you gave me away.
