VerseAGF
Oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me on my knees

Cause I belong to the ground now

And it belongs to thee
GF
And oh lord, won't you leave me, leave me just like this
G
Cause I belong to the ground now
A
I want no more than this
GF
How I long for the autumn, the sun keeps burning deep

Every stone in this city keeps reminding me, oh!

Can you protect me from what I want?

The love I let in, it left me so lost

So I can rain on you things I can't say out loud

VerseAGF
All these couples are kissing and I can't stand the heat

I lost my shoes and left the party

I wander in the street

I put my feet into the fountain, the statues all asleep

No use wishing on the water
It grants you no relief
ChorusAG
Mother, make me
FDm
Make me a bird of prey
AGFDm
So I can rise above this, let it fall away

Make me a song so sweet

Heaven trembles, fallen at our feet
