Bat For Lashes - Lilies lyrics

rate me

Again tonight I sang a song, a prayer if you will

Fell to the floor on blackened knees, and all the trees fell still

Press my hands between my bare knees, and poured in some milk

Begged the thunder bolts to strike and mark me as alive

All of the lilies on the hill

All of the lilies on the hill

All of the lilies on the hill

Scented the light

And so I finished up my prayer, rose slowly and I stared

But I was empty as a grave and ghost less was the end

Laid back to bed and dove my eyes and searched those further skies

Again begged the thunder bolt to strike to mark me or else I will die

All of the lilies on the hill

All of the lilies on the hill

All of the lilies on the hill

Scented the night

Any second before I sleep

Any second before I sleep

Did I believe what I did see?Did I believe what came to me?

Appeared a figure of a man, waving upon the hill

To the window I ran and saw what he had sent

Children of a private world, to beacons conceived in milk

Hundred marching to my door of bringing dreams to drink

Thank God I'm alive! Thank God I'm alive! All of the lilies on the hill

All of the lilies on the hill

All of the lilies on the hill

Scented the night
