STING - I Was Brought To My Senses lyrics

rate me

Alone with my thoughts this evening<br>I walked on the banks of tyne<br>I wondered how I could win you<br>Or if I could make you mine<br>Or if I could make you mine<br><br>The wind it was so insistent<br>With tales of a stormy south<br>But when I spied two birds in a sycamore tree<br>There came a dryness in my mouth<br>Came a dryness in my mouth<br><br>For then without rhyme or reason<br>The two birds did rise up to fly<br>And where the two birds were flying<br>I swear I saw you and i<br>I swear I saw you and i<br><br>I walked out this morning<br>It was like a veil had been removed from before my eyes<br>For the first time I saw the work of heaven<br>In the line where the hills had been married to the sky<br>And all around me<br>Every blade of singing grass<br>Was calling out your name<br>And that our love would always last<br>And inside every turning leaf<br>Is the pattern of an older tree<br>The shape of our future<br>The shape of all our history<br>And out of the confusion<br>Where the river meets the sea<br>Came things I'd never seen<br>Things I'd never seen<br><br>I was brought to my senses<br>I was blind but now that I can see<br>Every signpost in nature<br>Said you belong to me<br><br>I know it's true<br>It's written in a sky as blue<br>As blue as your eyes<br>As blue as your eyes<br>If nature's red in tooth and claw<br>Like winter's freeze and summer's thaw<br>The wounds she gave me<br>Were the wounds that would heal me<br>And we'd be like the moon and sun<br>And when our courtly dance had run<br>Its course across the sky<br>Then together we would lie<br>And out of the confusion<br>Where the river meets the sea<br>Something new would arrive<br>Something better would arrive<br><br>I was brought to my senses<br>I was blind but now that I can see<br>Every signpost in nature<br>Said you belong to me<br>I was brought to my senses<br>I was blind but now that I can see<br>Every signpost in nature<br>Said you belong to me...
