[Verse 1]
I wanted to find a hollow
A place to fill the empty in my mind
My silence had me caving inwards
I longed for us to speak between the lines
And when I'd find my hollow
I'll leave every trace of it behind
I'd of known you'd follow
But this hollow was for me alone to find
Or so I thought
Or so I thought, oh, what a fool
[Chorus]
Oh, what I was, oh, what you are
These are the strangest times
Has my young love faded out of sight?
Oh, where we were, oh, where we are
They're not so far apart
We'll set off for that hollow at first light
Yeah, we will
[Verse 2]
At last we reached the hollow
We'll sink down in the moss upon the ground
My compass had me helter-skelter
A fly in a fish bowl buzzing around
Your heart against my chest a-humming
You sing your song of sorrow to me now
But my songbird shall not wallow
Drawn back to this secret we have found
And I hear the water rushing down below
It doesn't matter now
[Chorus]
Oh, what I was, oh, what you are
These are the strangest times
Has my young love faded out of sight?
Oh, where we were, oh, where we are
They're not so far apart
We'll set off for that hollow at first light
Yeah, we will, yeah, we will
Oh, what I was, oh, what you are
These are the strangest times
Has my young love faded out of sight?
Oh, where we were, oh, where we are
They're not so far apart
We'll set off for that hollow at first light
Oh, what I was, oh, what you are
These are the strangest times
Has my young love faded out of sight?
Oh, where we were, oh, where we are
They're not so far apart
We'll set off for that hollow at first light
Oh, where we were, oh, where we are
