Borrowed Heaven lyrics

The Corrs

All beauty all fade away, borrowed
All moonlight, return today, borrowed

All sunrise all shooting stars, borrowed
All earth bound bare feet in clay,
You know we're standing on

Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven

All heartache, all rivers cried, borrowed
Don't stay out too late tonight, borrowed
I love you don't wanna die, borrowed
You taste like paradise, I know I'm breathing in

Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven

You gave me life and I will give it back
But before I do, I'm gonna hold it tight
This is my prayer

Oh oh-oh-oh...

[Instrumental]

All body, all skin, all bone, borrowed
All silky, all smooth and warm, borrowed
All pleasure, all pain are one, borrowed
Almighty I stand alone, I know I'm living in

Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven

Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
Borrowed, borrowed heaven
