Cathedral song - Tanita Tikaram

28 november 2014

Je verraadt je leeftijd natuurlijk wel met dit soort keuzes.... Maar het is toch zo'n fijn deuntje, die kan ik niet laten liggen. Na 3 hitjes van haar debuutalbum bleef het helaas stil, ondanks de heerlijke hese, zwoele stem. Het was nog even dubben of deze het moest worden of 'Twist in my sobriety', maar deze past nu het beste. De andere komt ongetwijfeld nog wel 'n x langs.

You catch me

I am tired

I want all that you are

Tanita Tikaram

I saw you from the cathedral
you were watching me
yes I saw from the cathedral
what I should be

So take my time
and take my lies
'cos all the others, they want to take my life

And I watch you with an intent, basic
it's the same for you
you hold your hand
and it's all fine-laced and
what would you make me do?

So take my time
and take my lies
'cos all the others, they want to take my life

Serious for the winter time
to wrench my soul
whole cotton, whole cotton ears
but I know there must be
I know there must be, yes, I know there must be a place to go

And you saw me from the cathedral
well I'm an ancient heart
yes, you saw me from the cathedral
well here we are just falling apart

You catch me
I am tired
I want all that you are

And I saw you from the cathedral
You were leaving me
Yes I saw from the cathedral
You could not see to see

So take my time
And take my lies
'Cos all the others, they want to take my life
