Lyrics

Will ya search the loamy earth for me?
Climb through the briar and bramble?
I will be your treasure
I knew the touch o' the kings
And the breath of the wind
And I knew the call of all the songbirds
They sang all the wrong words
I'm waitin' for you
I'm waitin' for you
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Will ya swim through the briny sea for me?
Roll along the ocean floor?
I'll be your treasure
I'm with the ghosts of the men
Who can never sing again
There's a place, follow me
Where a love lost at sea
Is waiting for you
Is waiting for you
Ooh-ooh (ooh) ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh (ooh) ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh (ooh) ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh (ooh) ooh-ooh
Will ya drift o'er the rollin' fields for me?
Hold me in your highest bough?
I will be your treasure
But in history's rhyme
There's a place and a time
And a truth to the gold
That the folds cannot hold
I'm waitin' for you
Still waitin' for you
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
