Overture (2005 Digital Remaster)

Overture
Patrick Wolf

It's wonderful
What a smile can hide
If the teeth shine right
And it's nice and wide
So magical
All you can keep inside
If you bury it deep
No-one can 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
Hiding something that one day he'll sell
But now if no one shows
Then no one tells a thing
No?
Well come on now open wide
Open up now
Don't you think it's time?
Now after all these years
You are at last opening
Was it worth all that war just to win?
And so caught up in speed of the days
And your sin
Don't forget how the story begins
Don't forget

Now i'm seeing all your lovers and your enemies
Been turning their keys
So full of need
All trying to seize that jewel you keep
'What makes it shine?
What makes it mine?'
Well I don't care
Just come on now
Open wide
Open up now
Theres so much love for you'll find
Now 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 was
Then come on 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...
