Here Lies Love (feat. Florence Welch) [2023 Remaster]
When I was a young girl in Leyte
My dresses were all hand-me-downs and scraps
I'd see the people smile, when I would sing for them
How happy they all seemed when I would dance
We lived a stone's throw from the palace
A simple country girl who had a dream
The ladies passing by, a better class than I
How much it meant to me to be like these
Is it a sin to love too much?
Is it a sin to care?
I do it all for you
How can it be unfair?
I know that when my number's up
When I am called by God above
Don't have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say
"Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love"
Just say
"Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love"
The most important things are love and beauty
It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor
To prosper and to fly, a basic human right
The feeling in your heart that you're secure
Is it a sin to love too much?
Is it a sin to care?
I do it all for you
How can it be unfair?
I know that when my number's up
When I am called by God above
Don't have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say
"Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love"
Just say
"Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love"
I know that when my number's up
When I am called by God above
Don't have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say
"Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love"
Just say
"Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love"
My dresses were all hand-me-downs and scraps
I'd see the people smile, when I would sing for them
How happy they all seemed when I would dance
We lived a stone's throw from the palace
A simple country girl who had a dream
The ladies passing by, a better class than I
How much it meant to me to be like these
Is it a sin to love too much?
Is it a sin to care?
I do it all for you
How can it be unfair?
I know that when my number's up
When I am called by God above
Don't have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say
"Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love"
Just say
"Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love"
The most important things are love and beauty
It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor
To prosper and to fly, a basic human right
The feeling in your heart that you're secure
Is it a sin to love too much?
Is it a sin to care?
I do it all for you
How can it be unfair?
I know that when my number's up
When I am called by God above
Don't have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say
"Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love"
Just say
"Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love"
I know that when my number's up
When I am called by God above
Don't have my name inscribed into the stone
Just say
"Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love"
Just say
"Here lies love, here lies love, here lies love"
