Seven Years (Live Version)-Natalie Merchant

[00:01.45]How did I love you? [00:07.00]There was no measuring. [00:13.74]Far above this dirty world, [00:21.59]far above everything in your tower over it, [00:37.11]you were clean. [00:41.73]So warm and insightful were you in my eyes, [00:59.13]I was sure the rightful guardian of my life. [01:12.28]Damn you betrayer, [01:19.02]how you lied. [01:25.25]But for seven years you were loved; [01:34.03]I laid golden orchid crowns around your feet. [01:39.31]For seven years I bowed down to touch the ground, [01:48.53]so wholly your devotee. [01:53.22]You were all that I could see. [02:04.90] [02:10.09]I've got my sight now; [02:15.72]I see everything you hid. [02:22.46]So don't you try to right now all the wrong you did. [02:36.03]I might forget you but not forgive. [02:47.20]But for seven years you were loved; [02:58.56]I laid golden orchid crowns around your feet. [03:04.83]For seven years I bowed down to touch the ground, [03:12.77]so wholly your devotee. [03:18.23]For seven years you were so revered; [03:26.17]I made offerings of anything and everything I had. [03:32.91]You were all that I could see. [04:42.28]
