Boo Hewerdine - Hope Is A Name lyrics

rate me

Hope is a name that you give to a girl

Something she'll carry with her in this world

All of the things that you never had

All of the loves that you never loved

Hope is a name that we give to a girl

She'll wear it for dancing she'll sway and she'll swirl

She'll turn when she hears it in whispers and sighs

She'll smile as it crosses her first lover's lips

Oh still it goes on

Oh still it goes on

It's always been the same

You're no one until they give you a name

Hope is a name I would pass down to you

Part of the blueprint in all that you do

All of the things that I never did

All of the loves that I never loved
