Beth Orton - Faith Will Carry lyrics

rate me

You touched my hand

Said, "Follow me

I'll be your eyes when you cannot see"

Now the only blindness that I'm gonna choose

Is ignorance to all your misuse

There was a time when you held all the cards

And you dealt them all evenly 'cause I couldn't see

You read my mind

Left yourself so hard to find

I thought you knew me better than I knew myself

Spend your time cutting me down

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry

Spend your time cutting me down

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry

Spend your time cutting me down [you touched my hand]

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry

Spend your time cutting me down [I'll be your eyes]

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry

I could try talkin' to you but I already learned all I need to

Spend your time cutting me down

Don't listen to a word then you throw me a frown

To catch the eye of a stranger is nothing new

I was just waitin' for something to do

It was a twisted pair but now I'm through

Spend your time cutting me down [you touched my hand]

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [said it's faith that will carry]

Spend your time cutting me down [I'll be your eyes]

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry

Spend your time cutting me down [you read my mind]

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [left yourself so hard to find]

Spend your time cutting me down [I thought you knew me better]

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [than I knew myself]

You touched my hand

Said, "Follow me

I'll be your eyes when you cannot see"

Now the only blindness that I'm gonna choose

Is ignorance to all your misuse

It's faith that will carry

It's faith that will carry

You read my mind

Left yourself so hard to find

I thought you knew me better than I knew myself

Spend your time cutting me down

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry

Spend your time cutting me down

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry

Spend your time cutting me down [you touched my hand]

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [said, "Follow me]

Spend your time cutting me down [I'll be your eyes"]

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry

Spend your time cutting me down [you read my mind]

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [left yourself so hard to find]

Spend your time cutting me down [I thought you knew me better]

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [than I knew myself]

You touched my hand

Said, "Follow me

I'll be your eyes when it's plain to see it's faith that will carry"
