Wider Lyrics

The sun was high as i stood on line to collect my daily bread

Found a refuge for my pain beneath the hem of your summer dress

As we merged i heard the angels trilling like a choir

It was my heart was getting wider

Threw myself from a mountaintop cause you convinced me i could fly

Set down my fear as I drew you near to the places that i hide

I kneeled in confession but i'm as slippery as a liar

But my heart is getting wider

All these things we hold to

They never stay

All these loves we belong to

Will eventually betray

It's the way of things, they always fade away

I waged a war against the ceaseless voices in my head

Turned me round this wounded ground with the lies that they had fed

I couldn't win, said come on in, it's warm here by the fire

Cause my heart is getting wider

All these things we hold to

They never stay

All these loves we belong to

Will eventually betray

It's the way of things, they always fade away

I felt a burning in my chest and i named it as desire

Tears were streaming down my face though i had never been a crier

So stay with me my darling i can hold the hurt the hurt inside ya

Cause my heart is getting wider

All these things we hold to

They never stay

All these loves we belong to

Will eventually betray

As the flower blooms and slowly fades away
