Erasure - So The Story Goes Lyrics

I close my eyes to the sound in the sky and I see
Birds in the trees and pastures green
Nothing to do with the time or the place, I perceive
The rush of the sea beneath my feet

Such a lovely world, oh so magical
Precious like a pearl, wrapped up in a shell
Build your house of stone on a bed of sand
Time and tide will rise, washing through your hands

Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up

I lift my eyes to the sound in the sky and I hear it
The voice on the breeze is so serene
Nothing to do with the time or the place but I feel it
Like dust on the moon beneath my feet

Such a lovely world, oh so magical
So the story goes, sing the madrigal
What a lovely world, waxing lyrical
See the lies unfold, hear the miracle

Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up
Hear your heart
See the love
Feel the soul lift up

So the story goes
The lies and the miracle unfold
