Annie Lenox - The Gift

Darling don't you understand

I feel so ill at ease

The room is full of silence and it's getting hard to breathe

Take this gilded 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 can't go on living in the 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 hear the rain falling

Don't you know it feels so good

So let's go out into the rain again

Just like we said we always would

Done
