The Echoing Green - Answer Me lyrics

rate me

When you were a small child,

Joy was in your hands

There amongst the flowers,

Blooming in the land

A field of grace, a stream of doubts

A thought we cannot bend

A wasted tear, a lonely day

Someone to believe in

Answer me

Can't you see

That the world is coming down

On me?

I have got some questions

You don't have to lie

For every truth you give me,

I'll give you one more try

You can tell me now

You can speak for me

You can change the words,

And give me what I seek

Answer me

Can't you see

That the world is coming down?

Answer me

Can't you see

That the world is coming down

On me?

Lies are but a dream,

Words of indisgrace

Lies can hold you down

Forever
