Owen Pallett - The Chronicles of Sarnia lyrics

I had to hide myself in a book To keep your love away The pages worn with all of my faults The cover torn away I gave my life to the Water God For an apprenticeship Answering his mail and his door For nyads, hyppogryphs, after... Midwinter Banquet, he shook his head "Sadly, no, I can reverse the river's flow, but I can never send you home." I had to hide myself in a book to keep your love away When you read me, I get to look Back at my younger days
