Mercury Rev, Beth Orton - Courtyard lyrics
[Mercury Rev, Beth Orton - Courtyard lyrics]
Said he'd build me a courtyard
He promised he would
And spend time in my courtyard
Whenever he could
In the corner, a tall tree so shady and cool
A white marble fountain
In a clear sparkling pool
A lovely stone courtyard
With a lacy iron gate and a bountiful garden
Where I could wait
Yes, he built me a courtyard
Like he promised he would
And I know that he'd come to my side
Oh, he would if he could
Patterns on a courtyard floor
Illusions of all I'm living for
He promised he would
And spend time in my courtyard
Whenever he could
In the corner, a tall tree so shady and cool
A white marble fountain
In a clear sparkling pool
A lovely stone courtyard
With a lacy iron gate and a bountiful garden
Where I could wait
Yes, he built me a courtyard
Like he promised he would
And I know that he'd come to my side
Oh, he would if he could
Patterns on a courtyard floor
Illusions of all I'm living for
