Brilliant Trees Lyrics - Brilliant Trees - David Sylvian

When you come to me, 

I'll question myself again; 

Is this grip on life still my own? 

When every step I take 

Leads me so far away, 

Every thought should bring me closer home. 

And there you stand, 

Making my life possible. 

Raise my hands up to heaven, 

But only you could know. 

My whole world stands in front of me, 

By the look in your eyes. 

By the look in your eyes. 

My whole life stretches in front of me, 

Reaching up like a flower, 

Leading my life back to the soil. 

Every plan I've made's 

Lost in the scheme of things. 

Within each lesson lies the price to learn. 

A reason to believe 

Divorces itself from me; 

Every hope I hold lies in my arms. 

And there you stand, 

Making my life possible. 

Raise my hands up to heaven, 

But only you could know. 

My whole world stands in front of me, 

By the look in your eyes. 

By the look in your eyes. 

My whole life stretches in front of me, 

Reaching up like a flower, 

Leading my life back to the soil.
