Patrick Wolf Overture Lyrics

Overture Lyrics

its so wonderful what a can smile can hide if the teeth shine right, and it's
nice and wide

its so magical what you can keep inside 

and if you
bury it deep no-one can a find a thing, no



well, come on now open
wide,

open up now 

don't you think it's time to look



back at that boy on his way to school

such a heavy heart, such a heavy
jewel,

i mean something that one day he'll sell

now that no-one
shows, no-one tells a thing, no



come on now, open wide, open up
now

don't you think it's time



now, after all of these
years

you are at last opening 

was it worth all that war just to
win



so caught up in the speed of the days in your sin

don't
forget how the story begins, no, 

don't forget now



now, i'm
seeing old lovers and enemies

returning their keys so full of need

all trying to see that jewel you keep

what makes it shine, what makes
it mine

i don't care, no



just come on now, open wide, open
up now

there's so much love for what you'll find

oh what will you
find



now after all these years you are at last opening

was
it worth all that war just to win



well, if it wasn't , can you
take me back to where it begins

come on take me back, to where it
begins

come on take me back, to where it begins

come on open wide
and let some light in, in, in, in, in



let us in
