Song Lyrics » Lyrics to Midge Ure » lyrics to the gift |
|
From city streets you came with something true From dirt and smoke you breathed in something new And when you laid all before you, they took what you made And threw it away, the gift that you gave With hands of gold and images strong You cast the shape of things to cling on And when you tried to show them, they took what you made And gave it away, the gift that you gave And in return, I give you honest love These things I see around me I see with my soul, I feel in my heart The gift that you gave and in return I give you my respect That's all that's mine for giving, I've learned from it all The textures and form, the gift that you gave And when they ask what prize I treasure most What legacy I cherish, I say from the heart The passion and art, that's the gift that you gave | ||
