Far and wide, I've searched for the coin
in the mouth of a fish
And I have found nothing yet
Call on the half moon to shine its light onto
your loaded heart
Well this is gotta start
Wish I could move you with ten thousand talents
But all I've got
is this fever heart. Pours like the sun o'er the highest heaven
Only goes so far
Far as I can tell
*harp solo*
Oh I can swim but I don't walk on water
I'd never have known if I never had bothered
And these days I'm a little off-balance
'Cause I'm a slave to ten thousand talents
But I can tell you right now that
if you do that again, I will love and leave you
so fast it will make your head spin
Do you know all of the trouble that you're in?
Ten thousand talents that you'll never see
That's ten thousand talents that I'll never be
Ten thousand reasons to stay or to leave me
Ten thousand talents that you'll never see
That's ten thousand talents that I'll never be
Ten thousand reasons to stay or to leave me
Ten thousand talents that you'll never see
That's ten thousand talents that I'll never be
Ten thousand reasons to stay or to leave me.
