Patrick Wolf - Overture lyrics

It's wonderful what a smile can hide

If the teeth shine right and it's nice and wide

It's so magical all you can keep inside

And if you bury it deep no one can find a thing, no.

So 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, no one tells a thing, no.

So come on love, 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

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 all your lovers and enemies

They've been turining their keys so full of need

All trying to see that sure you keep

What makes it shine, what makes it mine

But I don't care.

Just come on now, open wide.

Open up now.

There's so much love for what you'll find.

But what will you find!

Now after all these years you are at last opening

Was it worth all that war just to win.

If it was can you take me back to where it begins

Come and take me back to where it begins

Come and take me back to where it begins

Come on, open wide and let some light in.

Let us in.

Let us in
