[00:02.10]They  Weren't  There
[00:07.14]By  Missy  Higgins
[00:13.79]You  breathed  infinity  into  my  world
[00:17.00]and  time  was  lost  up  in  a  cloud  and  in  a  whirl.
[00:21.22]We  dug  a  hole  in  the  cool  grey  earth  and  lay  there  for  the  night.
[00:30.07]Then  you  said,'wait  for  me  we'll  fly  the  wind,
[00:36.89]we'll  grow  old  and  you'll  be  stronger  without  him'but  oh,
[00:43.45]now  my  world  is  at  your  feet.I  was  lost  and  I  was  found,
[00:50.50]but  I  was  alive  and  now  I've  drowned.
[00:57.31]So  now  I  will  be  waiting  for  the  world  to  hear  my  song
[01:04.14]so  they  can  tell  me  I  was  wrong...
[01:07.96]But  they  weren't  there  beneath  your  stare,
[01:11.01]and  they  weren't  stripped 'till  they  were  bare  of
[01:15.08]any  bindings  from  the  world  outside  that  room.
[01:21.61]And  they  weren't  taken  by  the  hand
[01:24.54]and  led  through  fields  of  naked  land
[01:28.36]where  any  pre-conceived  ideas  were  blown  away...
[01:35.19]so  I  couldn't  say 'no'.
[01:56.20]You  sighed  and  I  was  lost  in  you,weeks  could've  past  for  all  I  knew.
[02:03.01]You  were  the  blanket  of  the  over-world  and  so  I  couldn't  say,
[02:08.20]I  wouldn't  say 'no'.But  they  all  said,'you're  too  young  to  even  know,
[02:19.68]just  don't  let  it  grow  and  you'll  be  stronger  without  him'
[02:23.94]but  oh,now,my  world  is  at  your  feet.I  was  lost  and  I  was  found,
[02:33.05]but  I  was  alive  and  now  I've  drowned.
[02:39.96]So  now  I  will  be  waiting  for  the  world  to  hear  my  song
[02:46.58]so  they  can  tell  me  I  was  wrong...
[02:50.12]But  they  weren't  there  beneath  your  stare,
[02:53.56]and  they  weren't  stripped 'till  they  were  bare
[02:57.05]of  any  bindings  from  the  world  outside  that  room.
[03:04.05]And  they  weren't  taken  by  the  hand  and  led  through  fields
[03:08.94]of  naked  land  where  any  pre-conceived  ideas  were  blown  away...
[03:18.27]But  they  weren't  there  beneath  your  stare,
[03:21.19]and  they  weren't  stripped 'till  they  were  bare
[03:24.52]of  any  bindings  from  the  world  outside  that  room.
[03:31.86]And  they  weren't  taken  by  the  hand  and  led  through  fields
[03:37.01]of  naked  land  where  any  pre-conceived  ideas  were  blown  away...
[03:45.15]so  I  couldn't  say <-5>'no'.
