Emily B. Green - Higher Lyrics

Beautiful, beautiful eye
Where thou power will you cast
On the top of this cliff, or the white of this roof
Or the quick pulse of my impatient neck

Well I wonder where your magic will lie
Do you think it can make this one moment last
When the rest of the world swings in one great big twirl
Will you catch the glimpse of my trembling lips

I, I'm a vulnerable heart
I beat and I stop and I start
Again then I die

Till the magic of you brings me back
And the soft of your skin reminds me I'm real
All these images turn round and round in my mind
Don't you think life's in fact one great piece of art

Take the tree standing there on its own
Or that girl walking past, what makes her smile ?
'S it the Sun's warming touch or the wind's gentle hush
How I'd love you to whisper desire in my ear...

I, I'm a vulnerable heart
I beat and I stop and I start
Again then I die

Here we are with our lives standing still
Caught in the frame of what ifs and will
Do you read on my shy yet empowered smile
What my words are so shallow to even imply

I don't think that I ever will know
And the touch on my shoulder just tells me so
Your perfume lingers on, so the image of you
In my body, my mind, my soul and my sigh
