Former Self Songtext
von Nation of Language

Hope, unpardoned on the shore
Logged in volumes locked in drawers
My former self says I could ask for more

Away-way from you
I cover it well
But I may crumble
I can′t stop myself
A careful word
Something to guide my soul
A way forward, ah

Song, enrapture and unfurl
Love, remand me to the floor

Lay my head back
Candlelight for warmth
My former self says I could be someone


Away-way from you
I cover it well
But I may crumble
I can't stop myself
A careful word
Something to guide my soul
A way forward, ah

Lay my head back
Quiet hands at work
My former self says I could ask for more

Away-way from you
I cover it well
But I may crumble
I can′t stop myself
A careful word
Something to guide my soul
A way forward, ah

Ah, ah, ah
