Seven Years - Natalie Merchant

How did I love you

There was no measuring

Far above this dirty world

Far above everything

In your tower over it

You were clean

So warm and insightful

Were you in my eyes

I was sure the rightful

Guardian of my life

Damn you betrayer

How you lied

But for seven years

You were loved

I laid golden orchid crowns

Around you feet

And for seven years

I bowed down

To touch the ground

So wholly your devotee

You were you were

All that I could see

I'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 not forgive

But for seven years

You were loved

I laid golden orchid crowns

Around your feet

And for seven years

I bowed down

To touch the ground

So wholly your devotee

And for seven years

You were so revered

I made offerings of

Anything and everything I had

You were you were

All that I could see

You were you were

All that I could see see~

You were you were

All that I could see see see~

You were you were

All that I could see~~~~~~~~~~
