Years (By One Thousand Fingertips) - Attack In Black

Would you be a mother with a family?

If your songs weren’t written

Would I still get shivers from your silence

Until tears are welled up in my eyelids?

If your duty wasn’t earthly

Would you understand its beauty?

Please do these things for me

Please know that you have held one thousand years (by one thousand fingertips)

If your words weren’t charming

Would they still sit on fences in my eardrums?

If your voice was harmful

Would it be a storm cloud

ON the golden bay of summer’s starting?

If I didn’t know you

I would not be nearly as inspired

Please do these things for me

Please know that you have held one thousand years (by one thousand fingertips)
