Lisa Hannigan - Lille

Lyrics

He went to see for a day

He wanted to know what to say

When he asked what he'd done

In the past to someone

That he loved endlessly

Now she's gone, and so is he

I went to war every morning

I lost my way, but now I'm following

What you said in my arms

What I read in the charms

That I loved durably

Now it's dead and gone, and I am free

I went to sleep for the daytime

I shut my eyes to the sunshine

Turned my head away from the noise

Bruise and drip decay of childish toys

That I love arguably

All our laboring gone to seed

We went out to play for the evening

And wanted to hold on to the feeling

And the stretch in the sun

And the breathlessness as we run

To the beach endlessly

As the sun creeps up on the sea
