So The Story Goes - Erasure

I close my eyes

To the sound of the sky and I see

Birds in the trees in pastures green

Nothing to do

With the time or the place I perceive

The rush of the sea beneath my feet

Such a lovely world

Oh so magical

Precious like a pearl

Wrapped up in a shell

Build your house of stone

On a bed of sand

Time and tide will rise

Washing through your hands

Hear your heart

See the love

Feel the soul lift up

Hear your heart

See the love

Feel the soul lift up

I lift my eyes

To the sound in the sky and I hear it

A voice on the breeze is so serene

Nothing to do

With the time or the place but I feel it

Like dust on the moon beneath my feet

Such a lovely world

Oh so magical

So the story goes

Sing the madrigal

What a lovely world

Waxing lyrical

See the lies unfold

Hear the miracle

So the story goes…

The lies and the miracle unfold

Fresh like a pearl

Wrapped in a shell

Build your house of stone on a bed of sand

Time and tide will rise

To wash tru' your hands

Feel your soul lift up

Hear your heart, see the love

Feel your soul lift up

I lift my eyes to the sound in the sky

And I hear it

A voice in the breeze, so serene
