The One Lyrics & Tabs by Ally the Fiddle
The One
guitar chords lyrics
Deep in your depth a dim light is glowing,
there, where no sunlight dares t' dive so deep,
there is my pillow where I lie asleep,
awaiting the one.
You're my embrace, oh your arms ‘round me 're flowing,
so you were bleaching and fading my skin,
turned it to seagrass, so grey, pale and thin,
away from the sun.
One day so clear and the next winds were blowing.
At night I was talking to stars in the sky,
by day to creatures, passing me by,
but longed for the one.
So I sat on your shore and I left my thoughts roving
as something inside me sprang wild against my chest.
It was just his gaze, took my breath, stopped my quest
So I sat on your shore and I left my thoughts roving
as something inside me sprang wild against my chest.
It was just his gaze, took my breath, stopped my quest
and made my blood run.
All so kind - why didn't you leave me blind?
Every day now he came and he set my heart growing.
With words full of beauty he caressed my sens',
with lips full of embers my watercold skin
as my duty was done.
Now my life came to sense and I learned all about owing.
He was not here, I was dreaming his face,
when he had to leave my love followed his trace.
For sure I was his one.
All so kind - why didn't you leave me blind?
All so kind - why didn't you leave me blind?
Finally then empty days and my hopes were all going.
Hours for hours I waited in vain.
Never before I knew anger and pain
and fear for the one.
So I ask you, my waters, if you'd be allowing
to walk like a human, to search for my life.
I went to the village and found there his wife...
As I returned to my place only sand the shores were showing,
'cause all that was needed to make me a lass
was to learn love and hate, fear and pain, pride and wrath.
In his blood laid the one.
