Coil

[Mikael Akerfeldt:]
She told me why
She told me lies
Always take care of this
I told her how
I've always stayed
Always waiting
For nothing
[x2]
When I get out of here
When I leave you behind
I'll find that the years passed us by
And I can, see you
Running through the fields of sorrow
Yes I can, see you
Running through the fields of sorrow
When you get out of here
When you leave me behind
You'll find that the years passed us by
When you get out of here
When you leave me behind
You'll find that those years passed us by
And I can, see you
Running through the fields of sorrow
Yes I can, see you
Running through the fields of sorrow
She told me why
She told me lies
Always take care of this
I told her how
I've always stayed
Always waiting
For nothing
[x2]
When I get out of here
When I leave you behind
I'll find that the years passed us by
And I can, see you
Running through the fields of sorrow
Yes I can, see you
Running through the fields of sorrow
When you get out of here
When you leave me behind
You'll find that the years passed us by
When you get out of here
When you leave me behind
You'll find that those years passed us by
And I can, see you
Running through the fields of sorrow
Yes I can, see you
Running through the fields of sorrow
