If I Gave You My Heart - Ocean Colour Scene

If I gave you my heart where would you be

Would it mean nothing if not for me?

If I gave you my eyes what would they see

Would they see nothing if not for me?

But I gave you my hand and my sign

And my soul on the earth

And I gave up on truth

When I heard about the worst

So I lived out of love

When I gave it away

And I sold off my soul

When there was no-one to pay

If I gave you my hand what would it write

Would it say nothing or say it’s alright

If I gave you my arms would they hold you tight

First light of morning or bid you goodnight

And I gave you my strength and my worth

And I gave you my gift

And I moved on the first

And I left us to drift

And I’ll reap from the soil

And I’ll build homes from wood

It’s a new better life

And we have to and should

And I gave you my dream of the world

And we stood on the quay

And we sang to the wind

And the whole darkening sea

And I feel my weight

And I guard my soul

And I found my beliefs

When I found my control

I gave you my hand

And my soul on the earth

And I gave up on the truth

When I heard about the worst

So I lived out of love

When I gave it away

And I sold off my soul

When there was no-one to pay
