Lille by Lisa Hannigan

He went to sea for the day
He wanted to know what to say
When he's asked (1)________ he'd done
In the past to someone
That he (2)__________ endlessly
Now she's gone, so is he
I went to war every morning
I (3)________ my way but now I'm following
What you (4)________ in my arms
What I (5)________ in the charms
That I love durably
Now it's dead and (6)________ and I am free

I went to (7)__________ for the daytime
I shut my (8)________ to the sunshine
Turned my head (9)________ from the noise
Bruise and (10)________ (11)__________ of (12)________________ toys
That I (13)__________ arguably
All our labouring (14)________ to seed

We (15)________ out to (16)________ for the evening
We (17)____________ 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 (18)____________ up on the sea
