Patrick Wolf Overture Lyrics

its so wonderful what a can smile can hide if the teeth shine right, and it's nice and wide
its so magical what you can keep inside
and if you bury it deep no-one can a find a thing, no

well, come on now open wide,
open up now
don't you think it's time to look

back at that boy on his way to school
such a heavy heart, such a heavy jewel,
i mean something that one day he'll sell
now that no-one shows, no-one tells a thing, no

come on now, open wide, open up now
don't you think it's time

now, after all of these years
you are at last opening
was it worth all that war just to win

so caught up in the speed of the days in your sin
don't forget how the story begins, no, don't forget now

now, i'm seeing old lovers and enemies
returning their keys so full of need
all trying to see that jewel you keep
what makes it shine, what makes it mine
i don't care, no

just come on now, open wide, open up now
there's so much love for what you'll find
oh what will you find

now after all these years you are at last opening
was it worth all that war just to win

well, if it wasn't , can you take me back to where it begins
come on take me back, to where it begins
come on take me back, to where it begins
come on open wide and let some light in, in, in, in, in

let us in
