Lille

Lisa Hannigan

He went to see for the day
He wanted to know what to say
When he's asked what he'd done
In the past to someone
That he loved endlessly
Now she's gone, 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

Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh, oh

I went to sleep for the daytime
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

Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh, oh

We went out to play for the evening
We wanted to hold on to the feeling
Of the stretch in the sun
And the breathlessness as we run
To the beach endlessly
As the sun creeps up on the sea

Ooh-oh
Ooh-oh, oh
