VERSE:  
            
You weightless astronaut

        
You sunset diving bird

                                  
a cool wind set upon the branches of a tree

         
you holding my attention

        
you are my first impression

                                     
and I can recognize a life that I've been given


CHORUS:
                         
One day they will discover you

          
low cloud moving cross the sky

                      
one day they will uncover you

                                  
young girl, wash the sleep out of your eyes


VERSE:
Dust on my piano
wool rest never sleeping
all your best one-liners borrowed from a film
the thing that gets to me
is how you're never free
and how the spirit yearns
your body is a prison

CHORUS:
One day they will discover you
low cloud moving cross the sky
one day they will uncover you

VERSE:

The thing that gets to me is
how you're never free and
how the spirit yearns
your body is a prison

BRIDGE:
                        
Bright as her eyes wide in the night


why can't you see me

             /*         
come with the wind, time to begin


there'll be no compromise

                                          
and all you want is wrapped around you

                                              
there's no saints preserve us when we're dying

                                      
to pick us up from where we're lying


CHORUS:
One day they will discover you
one day they will uncover you

                             
Bright as her eyes wide in the night

                               
they will discover you

                          
they will discover you
