The Echoing Green - Matter Lyrics

You can say the words
To their faces
They won’t listen
You can sound it out
Any way you can
And
You can tell your dreams
To the world
They won’t listen
Your hopes and invention
Don’t matter to them
But they matter to me
They matter to me
And your whispers
Sing like sirens
To me
Standing by like a hero
With nothing to save
Up against all the
Water, wind, and the waves
And if you
Take a moment just to
Shield your face
Shut your mouth
Let your secrets
Keep their place
Oooh
You’ll tell them to no one
But you can tell them to me
You can tell them to me
And your sentiments are diamonds
To me
They matter to me
They matter to me
And your whispers sing like sirens
To me

You can say the words
To their faces
They won’t listen
You can sound it out
Any way you can
And
You can tell your dreams
To the world
They won’t listen
Your hopes and invention
Don’t matter to them
But they matter to me
They matter to me
And your whispers
Sing like sirens
To me
Standing by like a hero
With nothing to save
Up against all the
Water, wind, and the waves
And if you
Take a moment just to
Shield your face
Shut your mouth
Let your secrets
Keep their place
Oooh
You’ll tell them to no one
But you can tell them to me
You can tell them to me
And your sentiments are diamonds
To me
They matter to me
They matter to me
And your whispers sing like sirens
To me
