Karine Polwart - Painted It White lyrics

A broken spell a wishing well who's waters are dry A warning bell a yellow ribbon too torn to fly Stone turns to dust rust and metal muscle to bone We were looking for a locust wind to carry us home We believed in those words that you said You took a black heart and you painted it red We deceived ourselves every night As you took a black heart and you painted it white You painted it white A blazing sky a brazen lie you rarely concealed A promised maid betrayed upon af sorrowfull field Nobody learns seems like everybody turns to the screen To watch it pa** but not to ask what does is mean? We believed in those words that you said . Now you'r falling . So here we are, we're not so far from where we could be You've got a gun, the one you say will keep us all free So free that you Can bomb a blue horizon to black Then steal away the day And never, never give it back We believed in those words that you said . Now you'r falling .
