Faith Will Carry Lyrics - Singles - Beth Orton

You touched my hand, said, "Follow me 

I'll be your eyes when you cannot see" 

Now the only blindness that I'm gonna choose 

Is ignorance to all your misuse 

There was a time when you held all the cards 

And you dealt them all evenly 'cause I couldn't see 

You read my mind, left yourself so hard to find 

I thought you knew me better than I knew myself 

Spend your time cutting me down 

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry 

Spend your time cutting me down 

When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry 

Spend your time cutting me down 

(You touched my hand) 

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry 

Spend your time cutting me down 

(I'll be your eyes) 

When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry 

I could try talkin' to you but I already learned all I need to 

Spend your time cutting me down 

Don't listen to a word then you throw me a frown 

To catch the eye of a stranger is nothing new 

I was just waitin' for something to do 

It was a twisted pair but now I'm through 

Spend your time cutting me down 

(You touched my hand) 

When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry 

(Said it's faith that will carry) 

Spend your time cutting me down 

(I'll be your eyes) 

When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry 

Spend your time cutting me down 

(You read my mind) 

When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry 

(Left yourself so hard to find) 

Spend your time cutting me down 

(I thought you knew me better) 

When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry 

(Than I knew myself) 

You touched my hand, said, "Follow me 

I'll be your eyes when you cannot see" 

Now the only blindness that I'm gonna choose 

Is ignorance to all your misuse 

It's faith that will carry 

It's faith that will carry 

You read my mind 

Left yourself so hard to find 

I thought you knew me better than I knew myself 

Spend your time cutting me down 

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry 

Spend your time cutting me down 

When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry 

Spend your time cutting me down 

(You touched my hand) 

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry 

(Said, "Follow me") 

Spend your time cutting me down 

("I'll be your eyes") 

When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry 

Spend your time cutting me down [ 

(You read my mind) 

When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry 

(Left yourself so hard to find) 

Spend your time cutting me down 

(I thought you knew me better) 

When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry 

(Than I knew myself) 

You touched my hand 

Said, "Follow me, I'll be your eyes" 

When it's plain to see, it's faith that will carry
