Ancient Heart

Cathedral Song
by Tanita Tikaram
1988

I saw from the cathedral
You were watching me
Yes, I saw from the cathedral
What I should be

So take my time
And take my lies
'Cause all the others, they wanna take my life

And I watch with an intent, basic
Well, it's the same for you
You hold your hand
And it's all fine-laced and
What would you make me do?

So take my time
And take my lies
'Cause all the others, they wanna take my life

Serious for the winter time
To wrench my soul
Whole cotton, whole cotton ears
But I know there must be
Yes, I know there must be
Yes, I know there must be a place to go

Then you saw me from the cathedral
Well I'm an ancient heart
Yes, you saw me from the cathedral
And here we are just falling apart

You catch me
I am tired
I want all that you are

And I saw from the cathedral
You were leaving me
Yes, I saw from the cathedral
You could not see to see

So take my time
And take my lies
'Cause all the others, they wanna take my life
