So The Story Goes-Erasure

I close my eyes To the sound of 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 A 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 world Waxing lyrical See the lies unfold Hear the miracle So the story goes... The lies and the miracle unfold Fresh like a pearl wrapped in a shell Build your house of stone on a bed of sand Time and tide will rise To wash tru' your hands Feel your soul lift up Hear your heart, see the love Feel your soul lift up I lift my eyes to the sound in the sky And I hear it A voice in the breeze, so serene
