Seven Years Lyrics


Advisory - the following lyrics contain explicit language:
How did I love you?
There was no measuring
Far above this dirty world
Far above everything
In your tower over it
You were cleanSo warm and insightful
Were you in my eyes
I was sure the rightful
Guardian of my life
Damn you betrayer

How you liedBut for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns around your feetAnd for seven years
I bowed down to touch the ground
So wholly your devoteeYou were, you were
All I could seeI've got my sight now
I see everything you hid
So don't you try to right now
All the wrong you did
I might forget you
But never forgiveBut for seven years
You were loved
I laid golden orchid crowns around your feetAnd for seven years
I bowed down to touch the ground
So wholly your devoteeAnd for seven years
You were so revered
I made offerings of anything and everything I hadYou were, you were
All I could see
You were, you were all
All I could see
See, you were, you were all
All I could see
See, you were, you were all
All I could see
See, you were, you were all
All I could see

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Natalie Anne O'Shea Merchant (born October 26, 1963 in Jamestown, New York, U.S.) is a professional musician. She co-founded and fronted the band 10,000 Maniacs in 1981. Later, she went to college and then left the band in 1993 and started a successful solo career. Merchant plays the piano, produces and writes many of her songs.

Her debut solo album Tigerlily (1995) had three top-40 singles: 'Carnival', 'Jealousy' and 'Wonder'. This was followed in 1998 with her second solo album Ophelia, her third in 2001 with Motherland, and fourth in 2003 called 'The House Carpenter's Daughter'.

Merchant has sung alongside Tracy Chapman, Michael Stipe, David Byrne and Peter Gabriel. She has also collaborated with Billy Bragg a number of times, including the 1998 album Mermaid Avenue. Like Bragg, her work touches on social and political themes; she has been active in promoting a number of campaigning issues in both her songs and through the causes to which she lends her name.
