Seven Years Lyrics

The song Seven Years is performed by Natalie Merchant in the album named Tigerlily in the year 1995 .

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
All I could see
See, you were, you were all
All I could see
See, you were, you were all
All I could see
See, you were, you were all
All I could see
