Merchant Natalie Seven Years lyrics

Merchant Natalie
Tiger Lily
Seven Years
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 & 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 not 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
