Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Lost in skies of powdered gold Caught in clouds of silver ropes Showered by the empty hopes As I tumble down, falling fast to the ground I know I'll wither so peel away the bark 'Cause nothing grows when it is dark In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear I see it all so clear Woah Cover your crystal eyes And feel the tones that tremble down your spine Woah Cover your crystal eyes And let your colours bleed and blend with mine Making waves in pitch black sand Feel the salt dance on my hands Raw and charcoal coloured thighs Feel so cold and my skin feels so paper-thin I know I'll wither so peel away the bark 'Cause nothing grows when it is dark In spite of all my fears, I can see it all so clear I see it all so clear Woah Cover your crystal eyes And feel the tones that tremble down your spine Woah Cover your crystal eyes And let your colours bleed and blend with mine But I'm okay in see-through skin I forgive what is within 'Cause I'm in this house I'm in this home All my time Woah Cover your crystal eyes And feel the tones that tremble down your spine Woah Cover your crystal eyes And let your colours bleed and blend with mine
