Copeland - Kite lyrics

rate me

I hid myself from failure and fear

O my dear you're a threat to the bad in us all

They tell themselves that each word from your lips

Or the grace in your eyes overcomes any fall

Over the twilight you're listening for me

Darling, go to sleep

Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be

Loved so deep

Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string

Till you cut through my tether and changed everything

From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same

So I darted back quickly to spell out your name

And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite

You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight

Don't hide yourself inside till I'm old

O my dear you're a threat to the bad we all see

I'm beside myself for the touch of your lips

Or the grace of your eyes that can see good in me

Over the twilight you're listening for me

Darling, go to sleep

Cradled by moonlight, I'm dreaming we'll be

Loved so deep

Floating and fighting, like a kite on a string

Till you cut through my tether and changed everything

From the sky you looked small, but I loved you the same

So I darted back quickly to spell out your name

And when they say that I'm just a terrible kite

You'll tell them you're proud of my marvelous flight
