The Echoing Green - Matter lyrics

You can say the words to their faces They won't listen You can sound it any way you can And you tell your dreams to the world They won't listen Your hopes and invention Don't matter to them But they matter to me And your whispers sing like sirens to me Standing by like a hero With nothing to save Up against all the water Wind, and the waves Take a moment just to shield your face Shut your mouth Let your secrets keep their place You'll tell them to no one But you can tell them to me And your sentiments are diamonds to me
