Erasure – So the story goes Lyric

I close my eyes to the sound in the sky
and i see
birds in the trees in pastures green

nothing to do with the time or the place
i perceive
the rush of the sea beneath my feet

Such a lovely world, oh so magical
precious like a pearl wrapped up in a shell
build your house of stone on a bed of sand
Time and tide will rise washing through your hands

Hear your heart see the Love
feel the soul lift up

Hear your heart see the Love
feel the soul lift up

I lift my eyes to the sound in the sky
and i hear it
the voice on the breeze is so serene

Nothing to do with the time or the place
but i feel it
like dust on the moon beneath my feet

Such a lovely world, oh so magical
so the story goes , sing the madrigal
what a lovely word waxing lyrical
see the lies unfold hear the miracle

Hear your heart see the Love
feel the soul lift up

Hear your heart see the Love
feel the soul lift up

So the story goes
The lies and the miracle unfold

precious like a pearl
wrapped in a shell
build your house of stone on sand
time and tide will rise
to wash through your hands
feel the soul lift up

Hear your heart see the Love
feel the soul lift up

I lift my eyes to the sound in the sky
and i hear it
a voice on the breeze
so serene
