They Weren't There |
| [00:07.14] |
By Missy Higgins |
| [00:13.79] |
You breathed infinity into my world |
| [00:17.00] |
and time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl. |
| [00:21.22] |
We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and lay there for the night. |
| [00:30.07] |
Then you said,'wait for me we'll fly the wind, |
| [00:36.89] |
we'll grow old and you'll be stronger without him'but oh, |
| [00:43.45] |
now my world is at your feet.I was lost and I was found, |
| [00:50.50] |
but I was alive and now I've drowned. |
| [00:57.31] |
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song |
| [01:04.14] |
so they can tell me I was wrong... |
| [01:07.96] |
But they weren't there beneath your stare, |
| [01:11.01] |
and they weren't stripped 'till they were bare of |
| [01:15.08] |
any bindings from the world outside that room. |
| [01:21.61] |
And they weren't taken by the hand |
| [01:24.54] |
and led through fields of naked land |
| [01:28.36] |
where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away... |
| [01:35.19] |
so I couldn't say 'no'. |
| [01:56.20] |
You sighed and I was lost in you,weeks could've past for all I knew. |
| [02:03.01] |
You were the blanket of the over-world and so I couldn't say, |
| [02:08.20] |
I wouldn't say 'no'.But they all said,'you're too young to even know, |
| [02:19.68] |
just don't let it grow and you'll be stronger without him' |
| [02:23.94] |
but oh,now,my world is at your feet.I was lost and I was found, |
| [02:33.05] |
but I was alive and now I've drowned. |
| [02:39.96] |
So now I will be waiting for the world to hear my song |
| [02:46.58] |
so they can tell me I was wrong... |
| [02:50.12] |
But they weren't there beneath your stare, |
| [02:53.56] |
and they weren't stripped 'till they were bare |
| [02:57.05] |
of any bindings from the world outside that room. |
| [03:04.05] |
And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields |
| [03:08.94] |
of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away... |
| [03:18.27] |
But they weren't there beneath your stare, |
| [03:21.19] |
and they weren't stripped 'till they were bare |
| [03:24.52] |
of any bindings from the world outside that room. |
| [03:31.86] |
And they weren't taken by the hand and led through fields |
| [03:37.01] |
of naked land where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away... |
| [03:45.15] |
so I couldn't say <-5>'no'. |
