Cathedral Song

Renato Russo


I saw from the cathedral
You were watching me
And I saw from the cathedral
What I should be

So take my lies
And take my time
´Cause all the others want to take my life

And I watch, with an intent, basic
It´s the same for you
You hold your hand
And it´s all fine - laced and
What would you make me do

So take my lies
And take my time
´Cause all the others want to take my life

Serious for the winter time
To wrench my soul
Whole cotton whole cotton ears
But I know there must be
Yes, I know there must be
Yes, I know there must be a place to go

You saw me, from the cathedral
Well, I´m an ancient heart
Yes, you saw me from the cathedral
And here we are just falling apart

You catch me
I am tired
I want all that you are

And I saw from the cathedral
You were leaving me
And I saw from the cathedral
You could not see to see

So take my lies
And take my time
´Cause all the others want to take my life
