They Weren't There

You breathed infinity into my world

And time was lost up in a cloud and in a whirl

We dug a hole in the cool grey earth and lay there for the night

Then you said, "Wait for me, we'll fly the wind

We'll grow old and you'll be stronger without him"

But oh, now my world is at your feet, I was lost and I was found

But I was alive and now I've drowned

So now, I will be waiting for the world to hear my song

So they can tell me, "I was wrong"But they weren't there beneath your stare

And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare

Or any bindings from the world outside that room

And they weren't taken by the hand

And led through fields of naked land

Where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away

So I couldn't say "No"You sighed and I was lost in you

Weeks could've past for all I knew

You were the blanket of the over-world

And so I couldn't say, I wouldn't say "No"

And they all say, "You're too young to even know

Just don't let it grow and you'll be stronger without him"

But oh, now my world is at your feet, I was lost and I was found

But I was alive and now I've drowned

So now, I will be waiting for the world to hear my song

So they can tell me, "I was wrong"But they weren't there beneath your stare

And they weren't stripped 'till they were bare

Of any bindings from the world outside that room

And they weren't taken by the hand

And led through fields of naked land

Where any pre-conceived ideas were blown away
