Benjamin Francis Leftwich Lyrics
(E/Parthenon Huxley)
Tarot cards
Said I'm already dead
Crystal ball
Fell down onto my head
Tenderness
If I want it I pay
My true love
Well she threw it away
CHORUS
But I can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
I can shine it all on
And still be amazed
Had some money
And a hole in my pocket
Had a house
But I forgot to lock it
Took a drag
>From a smoke that may kill me
What a drag
How the winter wind chills me
CHORUS
I'll shine it on just like MacBeth
In the face of certain death
Of a salesman or a king
And when the palm trees are on fire
I'll take my boat out on the sea
Had a face
But I never could save it
Hada kid
But I never would name it
Have a life
Well, that's what they call it
It's a road
But I guess I could crawl it
CHORUS

I could live in a different place
With a different house and a different name
I could sing you your favourite song
Yeah, you'd sing along, you'd sing along
I could wrap you in your favourite clothes
And kiss your face just so you know
That I'm the one who has got your back
Now turn around and don't be sad
I hope you find the love that's true
So the morning light can shine on you
I hope you find what you're looking for
So your heart is warm for ever more
I could fly you away with me
To the furthest place you'll ever be
We could smoke 'til the sun goes down
And without a sound, without a sound
We'd fall asleep by the big blue sea
With open eyes so we could see
The way it shines for you and I
You know it'll shine until we fly
I hope you find the love that's true
So the morning light can shine on you
I hope you find what you're looking for
So your heart is warm for ever more
I could wait with you by the water
I could wait with you for the winter to come
I could stand with you with your snow boots on
I hope you find the love that's true
So the morning light can shine on you
I hope you find what you're looking for
So your heart is warm for ever more
I hope you find what you're looking for
So your heart is warm for ever more

Puedo vivir en un lugar diferente,
con una casa diferente y un nombre diferente.
Puedo cantarte tu canción favorita,
Yeah, tendrás que cantarla, tendrás que cantarla.
Puedo envolverte en tu ropa favorita,
Y besar tu rostro sólo para que lo sepas,
Soy el único que te cubre las espaldas,
Ahora date vuelta y no estés triste.
Espero que encuentres el verdadero amor,
Así la luz de la mañana pueda brillar en ti,
Espero que encuentres lo que estás buscando,
Así tu corazón estará cálido cada vez más.
Puedo hacerte volar lejos conmigo,
Al lugar más lejano que puedas estar,
Podemos fumar hasta que el sol se esconda,
Y sin hacer ningún sonido, sin hacer ningún sonido.
Podemos dormirnos por el gran mar azul,
Con los ojos abiertos para que podamos mirar,
El camino brillará para ti y para mí,
Sabes que brillará hasta que volemos.
Espero que encuentres el verdadero amor,
Así la luz de la mañana pueda brillar en ti,
Espero que encuentres lo que estás buscando,
Así tu corazón estará cálido cada vez más.
Puedo esperar contigo por el agua,
Puedo esperar contigo por el invierno que venga,
Puedo quedarme contigo con tus botas de nieve puestas.
Espero que encuentres el verdadero amor,
Así la luz de la mañana pueda brillar en ti,
Espero que encuentres lo que estás buscando,
Así tu corazón estará cálido cada vez más.
Espero que encuentres lo que estás buscando,
Así tu corazón estará cálido cada vez más.

There's something about this song that keeps me coming back to it. I always feel something when I listen to it--a mix of hope, sadness, and beauty. That's true art right there :)
