Benjamin Longman - Uncountable Lyrics

She told me "There's not a country
I don't wanna live in before I finally drop
If we want to live all it's worth
We must travel the earth all the way to the top"

The steps that led to the bell tower
Could take us a half hour but took us all day
When the clock struck, the bells never rang
But the metaphor sang all we needed to say

So I won't sing a song of Rome
No city is my home
As long as I'm with you
And I won't lyricise of London
The mirage has been undone
'Cause all I see is you

We sat, and rang in the new year
Under the old pier down by the sea
And as the fireworks lit up the beach
We hid out of reach of the brittle night breeze

And the water, the shimmering water
It felt like our daughter, felt like our own
And the little we saw of her face
Held us in an embrace, and it warmed our cold bones

So I won't sing a song of Rome
No city is my home
As long as I'm with you
And I won't lyricise of London
The mirage has been undone
'Cause all I see is you

She told me "There's not a country
I don't wanna live in before I finally drop"
So I sold my guitars and CDs
There's no place for all these when the bus doesn't stop

The small screen through which her eyes gleam
Is all of her I've seen in 21 days
But when she says the word I reply
"Don't you know, so do I. In uncountable ways"

So I won't sing a song of Rome
No city is my home
As long as I'm with you
And I won't lyricise of London
The mirage has been undone
'Cause all I see is you
