The Gift Lyrics by Annie Lennox

The Gift Lyrics

    Darling don't you understand
    I feel so ill at ease
    The room is full of silence and it's getting hard to breathe
    Take this guilded cage of pain and set me free
    Take this overcoat of shame
    It never did belong to me
    It never did belong to me

    I need to go outside
    I need to leave the smoke
    'cause i can't go on living in this same sick joke
    It seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist
    Now that you have given me the perfect gift
    You have given me the gift

    For we have fallen from our shelves
    To face the truth about ourselves
    And we have tumbled from our trees
    Tumbled from our trees

    And i can almost...
    I can almost feel the rain falling
    Don't you know it feels so good
    So let's go out into the rain again
    Just like we said we always would
