Seven Years Lyrics by Natalie Merchant

Seven Years Lyrics

    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

    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

    For seven years
    I bowed down
    To touch the ground
    So wholly your devotee

    You were
    All i could see

    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 never forgive

    But for seven years
    You were loved
    I laid golden orchid crowns
    Around your feet

    For seven years
    I bowed down
    To touch the ground
    So wholly your devotee

    For seven years
    You were so revered
    I made offerings of
    Anything and everything i had

    You were
    All i could see
