"So The Story Goes" by Erasure

I close my eyes
To the sound of the sky and I see
Birds in
the trees in pastures green

Nothing to do
With the time or
the place I perceive
The rush of the sea beneath my
feet

Such a lovely world
Oh so magical
Precious like a
pearl
Wrapped up in a shell
Build your house of stone
On a
bed of sand
Time and tide will rise
Washing through your
hands

Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift
up
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up

I
lift my eyes
To the sound in the sky and I hear it
A voice
on the breeze is so serene

Nothing to do
With the time or
the place but I feel it
Like dust on the moon beneath my
feet

Such a lovely world
Oh so magical
So the story
goes
Sing the madrigal
What a lovely world
Waxing
lyrical
See the lies unfold
Hear the miracle

Hear your
heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up
Hear your heart
See
the love
Feel the soul lift up

So the story goes...
The
lies and the miracle unfold

(Precious miracle
Wrapped in a
shell
Build your house of stone on the sand
Time and tide
will wash through your hands
Feel the soul lift up
Hear your
heart
See the love
Feel your soul lift up

I lift my eyes to
the sound of the sky and I hear it
A voice on the breeze
So
serene)
