It Was Mine

Don't move

Don't do anything

What we've captured got away

Slipped from us

Don't speak

Don't say anything

They've been recording

All we say

For years now



You won't see them right away

But you'll hear them singing

Hold me closely now

But don't, don't say anything

They've come to take me away

And won't leave until I'm gone

I'm gone



Don't feel

Don't love anything

Love attracts all those

Who taint the cherished

Don't try to change anything

Nothing pure can ever stay, oh



You won't see them right away

But you'll hear them singing

Hold me closely now

But don't, don't say anything

They've come to take me away

And won't leave until I'm gone



They'll say "relax, you'll be fine"

(All we love goes away)

Oh, they'll take all you let them find

(All we love goes away)

It was mine

It was mine



You won't see them right away

But you'll hear them singing

Hold me closely

But don't say anything

They've come to take me away

And won't leave until I'm gone, oh

Don't say anything

Don't say anything

They won't leave I'm gone

I'm gone
