Vanessa Carlton - More Than This lyrics

rate me

Cradling stones hold fire bright

As crickets call out to the moonlight

As you lean in to steal a kiss

I'll never need more than this

We all share the pain of our histories

But the ache goes away if you could see

This night under stars, well, I call it peace

If you say, I'll never need more than this

The trees grow so thick

You can barely see through

But the forest bestows the simplest of truths

You think you'll be happy if granted one more wish

But the truth is you'll never need more,

You'll never need more

You'll never need more than this

Want so much in this life,

There's so much to be

We sail through our youth so impatiently

Until we see

That the years move along

And soldiers and heroes come home

And they carry a song,

Don't live in forgotten times

May this always remind you

Of the sea under the skies blue looking glass

Let's make this our story, let's live in the glory

Time, it fades away,

Precious as a song

Cause someday we'll be gone

Cradling stones hold fire bright

As we watch the glow of the morning light

Someday our bones here they will lie, and so we sing

As the years move along and soldiers and heroes come home

And they carry a song

Let's make this our story,

Let's live in the glory

Time, it fades away,

Precious as a song

Cause someday we'll be gone
