Seven Years Lyrics - Live In Concert - Natalie Merchant

How did I love you? 

There was no measuring 

Far above this dirty world 

Far above everything 

In your tower over it 

You were clean 

So warm and insightful 

Were you in my eyes 

I was sure the rightful 

Guardian of my life 

Damn you betrayer 

How you lied 

But for seven years 

You were loved 

I laid golden orchid crowns 

Around your feet 

And for seven years 

I bowed down 

To touch the ground 

So wholly your devotee 

You were you were 

All I could see 

I've got my sight now 

I see everything you hid 

So don't you try to right now 

All the wrong you did 

I might forget you 

But never forgive 

But for seven years 

You were loved 

I laid golden orchid crowns 

Around your feet 

And for seven years 

I bowed down 

To touch the ground 

So wholly your devotee 

And for seven years 

You were so revered 

I made offerings of 

Anything and everything I had 

You were, you were 

All I could see 

You were, you were 

All I could see 

You were, you were 

All I could see 

You were, you were 

All I could see 

You were, you were 

All I could see
