Sintra
ARBES Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
remember you in the springtime light
I would have done it a thousand times
Just to hide away, oh hide me away,
please hide me away,
you'll hide me away
Bury me under the green
& lay me down so you can see
Just to hide away, oh hide me away,
please hide me away,
you'll hide me away
Hold me for a thousand days,
hold me in a thousand ways,
collect yr sighs
and make it stay
Hold me for a thousand days,
Just to hide away, oh hide me away,
please hide me away,
you'll hide me away
In time
both yr hands in mine,
both yr hands in mine,
it's like a record I could say,
yr heart's a parcel I can
yr heart's a parcel I can
yr heart's a parcel I can
carry away, carry away, carry away
carry away, carry away, carry away
carry away, carry away
