Seven Years

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.

How did I love you?

There was no measuring

Far above this dirty world

Far above everything

In your tower over it

You were clean

So warm and insightful

Were you in my life

I was sure the rightful

Guardian of my life

Damn you betrayer

How you lied

But for seven years

You were loved

I laid golden orchid crowns

Around your feet

For seven years

I bowed down

To touch the ground

So wholly your devotee

You were all I could see

I've got my sight now

I see everything you hid

So don't you try to right now

All the wrong you did

I might forget you

But not forgive

But for seven years

You were loved

I laid golden orchid crowns

Around your feet

For seven years

I bowed down

To touch the ground

So wholly your devotee

For seven years

You were so revered

I made offerings

Of anything and everything I had

You were

All I could see
