Lyrics It All Came Back Today - Tanita Tikaram

It All Came Back Today

Well, he said it like he meant it
But he did not really care
So I sat upon the eve’s embraces
I was never there
No, I was never really fabled
I was never really lost
I was cunning through this habit of mine
You see, all the words were lost
Yes, all the words were lost
And you can stand upon your own life
Say it always seemed to seal
There were smiles upon the picture
But I don’t know what to feel
And I told a million stories
And I sat down to risk half
But I never really meant it
'Til you came and stole my heart away
You came and stole my heart away
And even if your real thought hid
A thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, all, all, all
All came back today
It all, all, all, all
All came back today
Well, the rain scales up
Your soul is drowned
Mother’s sayings still raise a frown and
Mother’s sayings still make you see
What you have lost instead of me
And even if your real thought hid
A thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, all, all, all
All came back today
It all, all, all, all
All came back today
And even though the starlight falls
And takes your breath away
You still stare up towards the toss
Hey, I don’t know what to say
I don’t know how to be alone with
Some kind, fretless friend
And even though the harvest brings
Well, we all begin again
Yes, we all begin again
And even if your real thought hid
A thousand words away
And even if you never knew
It all came back today
It all, all, all, all
All came back today
It all, all, all, all
All came back today
I would like this sun
Be spoke until I find
I was all remembrance
Until the words got tired
And even if your war grows stale
You got nothing left
I caught the stylus
The sun, the sources
There is a second breath
To take, yes
There is a second
Ay lay-lay lay
Lay lay lay
Ay lay-lay lay la-lum
