lyrics
Ephemeral
Raise your head look what you see
she was a bird and I was her tree
and for a while I was a home
I wonder if she thinks of me
the magpie steals a diamond ring
she only sees what’s glittering
I could only give a folding leaf
in a world of brighter offerings
love became a silver sword
sharpened by her own accord
there to cut my heart in two
half for me and half for you
it’s over now, it’s over now
Lord my hopes an old man of the sea
who saves up all my dreams for me
I’m gonna learn me how to swim
and go-a-go-a gathering
it’s over now, it’s over now
it’s over now, its over
now
Raise your head look what you see
she was a bird and I was her tree
and for a while I was a home
I wonder if she thinks of me
the magpie steals a diamond ring
she only sees what’s glittering
I could only give a folding leaf
in a world of brighter offerings
love became a silver sword
sharpened by her own accord
there to cut my heart in two
half for me and half for you
it’s over now, it’s over now
Lord my hopes an old man of the sea
who saves up all my dreams for me
I’m gonna learn me how to swim
and go-a-go-a gathering
it’s over now, it’s over now
it’s over now, its over
now
