Lise Liddell

Lyrics

I WOKE UP TO SEE WHAT TIME IT WAS
BUT THE SUN GAVE ME NO CLUE
I LOOKED TO THE EAST FOR SYMPATHY
BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM YOU

I’VE SPENT THE WHOLE OF MY LIFE
JUST LOOKING FOR THE LIGHT
AS IF THAT LIGHT WERE TANGIBLE
AND I COULD STEAL IT FROM THE NIGHT

Chorus:
TO HOLD IT IN MY HAND
HOLD IT JUST LIKE SAND
FLYING ON THE WIND
STINGING IN MY EYES

EVEN DIAMONDS TURN TO DUST I KNOW
FOR ONCE UPON A TIME
I SAW DIAMONDS IN YOUR EYES
AND I LOVED A BEAUTIFUL DISGUISE

I WOKE UP TO SEE WHAT TIME IT WAS
BUT I WAS STANDING ON MY CLOCK
THE TICKING ROARS AT ME LIKE THUN DER
AS I SEARCHED FOR SILENCE IN MY HEART

Chorus:
TO HOLD IT IN MY HAND
HOLD IT JUST LIKE SAND
FLYING ON THE WIND
STINGING IN MY EYES
I WOKE UP TO SEE WHAT TIME IT WAS
BUT THE SUN GAVE ME NO CLUE
I LOOKED TO THE EAST FOR SYMPATHY
BUT THERE WAS NO RESPONSE FROM YOU
