Seven Years Lyrics

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 your feet
And for seven years I bowed down to touch the ground So wholly your devotee
You were, you were All 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 never 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 I could see You were, you were all All I could see See, you were, you were all All I could see See, you were, you were all All I could see See, you were, you were all All I could see
