Note that the second version of Copper Wires was remastered, but I can't discern any difference with this track |
lyrics version 1
Your father always loved you, your mother never did
Unless it was in her own way which was to keep it totally hid
Hard looks and criticisms locked you in a rusted cage
And when you'd talk of your escape she'd fly into a rage
I think you need to see yourself as all the angels do
God is counting your sweet tears and heaven wants to bless you
Your sisters they tormented you for being a golden child
With your shining hair like a waterfall and your blue eyes unbeguiled
They despised you when you looked at them, you saw right through their lies
So they dazzled you in irony that was hard to recognise
You need to stand against the hate like all the angels do
And God is whispering right now, heaven wants to bless you
Oh they have a gift for cruelty and hate your innocence
But truth will knock upon your door and rise to your defence
Nobody has a reason to treat you in this way
But time will change the season and love will come to stay
The boys all want to own you so they can possess your light
And turn your beauty inside out and smother you with night
And take away your confidence and tell you that you're mad
And make you be a servant girl who's lost all that she had
I think you need to see yourself as all the angels do
God is counting your sweet tears and heaven wants to bless you
I think you need to love yourself like all the angels do
God is reaching out tonight, heaven wants to bless you
Unless it was in her own way which was to keep it totally hid
Hard looks and criticisms locked you in a rusted cage
And when you'd talk of your escape she'd fly into a rage
I think you need to see yourself as all the angels do
God is counting your sweet tears and heaven wants to bless you
Your sisters they tormented you for being a golden child
With your shining hair like a waterfall and your blue eyes unbeguiled
They despised you when you looked at them, you saw right through their lies
So they dazzled you in irony that was hard to recognise
You need to stand against the hate like all the angels do
And God is whispering right now, heaven wants to bless you
Oh they have a gift for cruelty and hate your innocence
But truth will knock upon your door and rise to your defence
Nobody has a reason to treat you in this way
But time will change the season and love will come to stay
The boys all want to own you so they can possess your light
And turn your beauty inside out and smother you with night
And take away your confidence and tell you that you're mad
And make you be a servant girl who's lost all that she had
I think you need to see yourself as all the angels do
God is counting your sweet tears and heaven wants to bless you
I think you need to love yourself like all the angels do
God is reaching out tonight, heaven wants to bless you
lyrics version 2
Your father always loved you and your mother never did
Unless it was in her own way which was to keep it totally hid
Hard looks and criticisms locked you in a rusted cage
And when you'd talk of your escape she'd fly into a rage
I think you need to see yourself as all the angels do
For God is counting your sweet tears and heaven wants to bless you
Your sisters they tormented you for being a golden child (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
With your shining hair like a waterfall and your blue eyes unbeguiled (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
They despised you when you looked at them, you saw right through their lies (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
So they dazzled you with irony that was hard to recognise (Ah ah ooh ooh)
You need to stand against the hate like all the angels do
And God is whispering right now, heaven wants to bless you
They have a gift for cruelty and hate your innocence
But truth will knock upon your door and rise to your defence
Nobody has a reason to treat you in this way
But time will change the season and love will come to stay
The boys all want to own you so they can possess your light (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
And turn your beauty inside out and smother you with night (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
And take away your confidence and tell you that you're mad (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
And make you be a servant girl who's lost all that she had (Ah ah ooh ooh)
I think you need to see yourself as all the angels do
God is counting your sweet tears and heaven wants to bless you
I think you need to love yourself like all the angels do
God is reaching out tonight and heaven wants to bless you
Unless it was in her own way which was to keep it totally hid
Hard looks and criticisms locked you in a rusted cage
And when you'd talk of your escape she'd fly into a rage
I think you need to see yourself as all the angels do
For God is counting your sweet tears and heaven wants to bless you
Your sisters they tormented you for being a golden child (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
With your shining hair like a waterfall and your blue eyes unbeguiled (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
They despised you when you looked at them, you saw right through their lies (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
So they dazzled you with irony that was hard to recognise (Ah ah ooh ooh)
