They weren't there

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".
