The Gift Lyrics - Diva - Annie Lennox

Darling dont you understand 

I feel so ill at ease 

The room is full of silence and its getting hard to breathe 

Take this gilded cage of pain and set me free 

Take this overcoat of shame 

It never did belong to me 

It never did belong to me 

I need to go outside, I need to leave the smoke 

Cause I cant go on living in this same sick joke 

It seems our lives have taken on a different kind of twist 

Now that you have given me the perfect gift 

You have given me the gift 

For we have fallen from our shelves 

To face the truth about ourselves 

And we have tumbled from our trees 

Tumbled from our trees 

And I can almost, I can almost feel the rain falling 

Dont you know it feels so good, feels so good 

So lets go out into the rain again 

Just like we said we always would
