The Gift Lyrics
Annie Lennox
Darling dont you understand
I feel so ill at ease
The room is full of silence and its getting hard to breathe
Take this guilded cage of pain and set me free
Take this overcoat of shame
It never did belong to me
It never did belong to me
I need to go outside
I need to leave the smoke
cause I cant go on living in this same sick joke
It seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist
Now that you have given me the perfect gift
You have given me the gift
For we have fallen from our shelves
To face the truth about ourselves
And we have tumbled from our trees
Tumbled from our trees
And I can almost...
I can almost feel the rain falling
Dont you know it feels so good
So lets go out into the rain again
Just like we said we always would
