It All Came Back Today - Tanita Tikaram

Well, he said it like he meant it

But he did not really care

So I sat upon the eve’s embraces

I was never there

No, I was never really fabled

I was never really lost

I was cunning through this habit of mine

You see, all the words were lost

Yes, all the words were lost

And you can stand upon your own life

Say it always seemed to seal

There were smiles upon the picture

But I don’t know what to feel

And I told a million stories

And I sat down to risk half

But I never really meant it

'Til you came and stole my heart away

You came and stole my heart away

And even if your real thought hid

A thousand words away

And even if you never knew

It all came back today

It all, all, all, all

All came back today

It all, all, all, all

All came back today

Well, the rain scales up

Your soul is drowned

Mother’s sayings still raise a frown and

Mother’s sayings still make you see

What you have lost instead of me

And even if your real thought hid

A thousand words away

And even if you never knew

It all came back today

It all, all, all, all

All came back today

It all, all, all, all

All came back today

And even though the starlight falls

And takes your breath away

You still stare up towards the toss

Hey, I don’t know what to say

I don’t know how to be alone with

Some kind, fretless friend

And even though the harvest brings

Well, we all begin again

Yes, we all begin again

And even if your real thought hid

A thousand words away

And even if you never knew

It all came back today

It all, all, all, all

All came back today

It all, all, all, all

All came back today

I would like this sun

Be spoke until I find

I was all remembrance

Until the words got tired

And even if your war grows stale

You got nothing left

I caught the stylus

The sun, the sources

There is a second breath

To take, yes

There is a second

Ay lay-lay lay

Lay lay lay

Ay lay-lay lay la-lum
