Lille by Lisa Hannigan

He (1)________ to sea for the day
He (2)____________ to know what to say
When he's asked what he'd done
In the past to someone
That he loves endlessly
Now she's gone, so is he
I went to war every morning
I lost my way but now I'm following
What you said in my arms
What I (3)________ in the charms
That I love durably
Now it's dead and gone and I am free

I shut my (4)________ to the sunshine
Turned my (5)________ (6)________ from the noise
Bruise and (7)________ decay of childish toys
That I loved arguably

We wanted to hold on to the feeling
And the stretch in the sun
And our breathlessness as we run
To the beach endlessly
As the sun creeps up on the sea
