Lennox Annie The Gift Lyrics

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
