Ocean Colour Scene Lyrics

"If I Gave You My Heart" lyrics


If I gave you my heart where would you be
Would it mean nothing if not for me?
If I gave you my eyes what would they see
Would they see nothing if not for me?

But I gave you my hand and my sign
And my soul on the earth
And I gave up on truth
When I heard about the worst

So I lived out of love
When I gave it away
And I sold off my soul
When there was no-one to pay

If I gave you my hand what would it write
Would it say nothing or say it's alright
If I gave you my arms would they hold you tight
First light of morning or bid you goodnight

And I gave you my strength and my worth
And I gave you my gift
And I moved on the first
And I left us to drift

And I'll reap from the soil
And I'll build homes from wood
It's a new better life
And we have to and should

And I gave you my dream of the world
And we stood on the quay
And we sang to the wind
And the whole darkening sea

And I feel my weight
And I guard my soul
And I found my beliefs
When I found my control

I gave you my hand
And my soul on the earth
And I gave up on the truth
When I heard about the worst

So I lived out of love
When I gave it away
And I sold off my soul
When there was no-one to pay
