Sherwood - Ground Beneath My Feet lyrics

I saw the light dance on your face Paint the shadows of your shape Back when the season made the days, so long And if I knew my tide would come With lines rehearsed but never sung I'd leave the chorus on your tongue, I swear Now I look around To see the ground beneath my feet Every second takes A thousands days away from me If I close my eyes, I hear the gates swing wide And by morning light, I will have seen both sides I got a funny feeling that it's my day to leave Shoulders down, the sweat drips across my cheek As I turn I can taste the salt in the shallow sea I feel the hearts beating next to me I hear the chatter of my teeth And I look around to see the ground beneath my feet The final thrill, the quiet spill of our retreat Do you see the waves running away from me? Can you taste the cold here in the air I breathe? Why'd you let me go? ‘Cause I can no longer see and I scream, Oh. My. God. Now I look around to see the ground beneath my feet Every second takes a thousands days away from me If I close my eyes, I hear the gates swing wide And by morning light, I will have seen both sides So why'd you let me go? I can no longer see, And I can't breathe.
