Old School
Daryll-Ann Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Where do I go to with all my intention
Tell me a story of love so devine
Hard to betray all my needs all my pleasures
They'll certainly keep things more than alive

Oh the innocent years in love and devotion
The delicacy of a motion in life
All I can state in the search for my treasure
Was hoping to keep all my secrets alive

Weather new friendships
Watch them fall again
Arise from the glory
And colour the sky

Where would I be without my life's reunion
Give me the morning for I will survive




Hard to betray all my needs all my treasures
They'll certainly keep things going for a while
