VERSE How did I love you? There was no measuring Far above this dirty world, far above everything In your tower over it, you were clean VERSE So warm and insightful were you in my eyes I was sure the rightful guardian of my life Damn you betrayer, how you lied! But for seven years You were loved, I laid golden orchid crowns around your feet And for seven years I bowed down to touch the ground so holy; your devotee You were, you were all that I could see VERSE: I've got my sight now, I see everything you hid So don't you try to right now all the wrong you did I might forget you, but not forgive But for seven years You were loved, I laid golden orchid crowns around your feet And for seven years I bowed down to touch the ground so holy; your devotee And for seven years, you were so revered I made offerings of anything and everything I had You were, you were all that I could see OUTRO: You were, you were all that I could see (repeat x4)
