Karine Polwart - Painted It White текст песни

A broken spell
a wishing well who's waters are dry
A warning bell
a yellow ribbon too torn to fly

Stone turns to dust
rust and metal muscle to bone
We were looking for a locust wind
to carry us home

We believed in those words that you said
You took a black heart and you painted it red
We deceived ourselves every night
As you took a black heart and you painted it white
You painted it white

A blazing sky
a brazen lie you rarely concealed
A promised maid
betrayed upon af sorrowfull field

Nobody learns
seems like everybody turns to the screen
To watch it pass
but not to ask what does is mean?

We believed in those words that you said .

Now you'r falling .

So here we are, we're not so far
from where we could be
You've got a gun, the one
you say will keep us all free

So free that you
Can bomb a blue horizon to black
Then steal away the day
And never, never give it back

We believed in those words that you said .

Now you'r falling .
