There Is An Everlasting Song - Belle & Sebastian

There is an everlasting song on my lips

I get up early so I don’t let that song slip

And mighty is the voice I’m singing with

It beats out all the dread

Defeats the eyes of darkness

There is an everlasting promise to be made

My ink is wet, there is no paper could contain

The depth of feeling that I pledge to you

Solemn as the sea, solemn as the sea

There is an everlasting morning near the sun

It burns a hole in my heart, makes me want to run

And I would run all day if they give me the choice

I hear your voice, I hear your voice

I hear your voice

There is an everlasting gladness of the heart

The stranger looks at me and loves me as I am

One day I’ll stand upon the river’s scared shore

And feel the sun, I’ll feel the sun

There is an everlasting sadness all around

It’s bigger than the news, from this you cannot run

A woman’s magazine, a column in the mail

Can’t help you now, can’t help you now

I love the summer birds, they sing no word of lie

The air is cruel, the frost will cast them as they fly

But glorious the sun returns to wake the year

They show no fear, they show no fear

They show no fear
