lyrics
Stealing My Fear Away
I saw a pair of magpie lovers, I said ‘keep your joy’.
Those with the eyes of a child can’t lament,
They’ve seen nothing destroyed.
The sweetness of songs of my innocence.
Untainted by hard-edged experience.
Ooh (sometimes I wish for the life of a fool)
Don’t let, let go, don’t let, let go (but how sweet the taste of a thought)
Don’t let, let go, don’t let, let go (swallow that sugary pill)
Don’t let, let go, don’t let, let go (hold on to the gold that you’ve caught)
Bats have been flying over my head like drops in the sky.
A hare crossed my path as I walked in the woods, looked me dead in the eyes.
The sweetness of songs of my innocence,
Untainted by hard-edged experience.
Ooh (sometimes I wish for the life of a fool)
Don’t let, let go, don’t let, let go (but how sweet the taste of a thought)
Don’t let, let go, don’t let, let go (swallow that sugary pill)
Don’t let, let go, don’t let, let go (hold on to the gold that you’ve caught)
Stealing my fear away [x 3]
Leaving the best part for me.
Stealing my fear away [x 3]
Leaving the best part for me.
Ooh (sometimes I wish for the life of a fool)
Don’t let, let go, don’t let, let go (but how sweet the taste of a thought)
Don’t let, let go, don’t let, let go (swallow that sugary pill)
Don’t let, let go, don’t let, let go (hold on to the gold that you’ve caught)
