Ed Harcourt
A Thousand Orchids
[Verse 1]
You'll find no witches waiting here
No ghosts hidden within the dark
Look for the beacons that show the way
The colours go straight to your heart

[Pre-Chorus]
It's so very human to feel that we can't say goodbye

[Chorus]
Only a thousand orchids
No one can hold on to this

[Verse 2]
My memory stays wild as the seasons
Rewriting the stories at will
Forging a path to the elegance
Of those rambling Elysian Fields

[Pre-Chorus]
It's so very human to live as if nothing will end
Though no one's immortal, our secrets will let us pretend

[Chorus]
Only a thousand orchids
Scattered in the sky
No one can hold on to this
When it's time
The bеauty we've lost, it stays etеrnal In our minds
Always a thousand orchids
Only a thousand orchids
Scattered in the sky
No one can hold on to this
When it's time
The beauty we've lost, it stays eternal
